Central Midfielder Zak was part of Stevenage Academy from 11 through to 18 when he was released. He then went on to play for Tunisia’s International team, playing in matches against Iraq and Croatia. Zak was sold for a 4-year professional contract with a Tunisian team in the top division, Us Monastir. But he was dropped after just three months when he injured his hamstring.

About

Boot Dreams: Now or Never is a six-part documentary series which sees 16 footballers, aged 18 to 26, all rejected by top clubs, arrive at a unique training camp which aims to get them a new pro contract by helping them with their struggles, both on and off the pitch.

Can they get back in the game, and the dream job they love?

Throughout the four-week process, they’ll also be visited at regular intervals by presenter Roman Kemp, who once dreamed of becoming pro himself, and wants to find out more about the experiences that have led them there.

The new six-part documentary series is on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer from Sunday 20 August.
