Thomas Atkinson
Defying limits, one game at a time

Thomas Atkinson is one of England’s most inspiring figures in amputee football. After facing life-changing circumstances, Thomas channelled his energy into the beautiful game, discovering a talent and passion that would take him all the way to international competition.

Representing the England Amputee Football Association, Thomas has become a cornerstone of the national side, combining technical skill with an unbreakable competitive spirit. His dedication on and off the pitch has earned him the respect of teammates, coaches, and fans alike. In 2026, Japanese Knotweed Agency is proud to stand behind Thomas as he continues his journey at the highest level supporting not just an athlete, but a role model for thousands across the country.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM

Supporting
Thomas Atkinson

We are pleased to support Thomas Atkinson, goalkeeper for the England Amputee Football Association, as an official sponsored athlete.

Thomas represents everything we stand for: a positive and professional attitude, and a commitment to doing things the right way. From elite performance on the pitch to inspiring people off it, this partnership is about more than logos, itʼs about backing people who lead by example and raise standards. Not only is Thomas delivering high-level performance on the pitch, but he has also gained wider public recognition through national television, bringing the same professionalism, confidence, and character to everything he does.

Over the coming season youʼll be seeing Japanese Knotweed Agency featured on Thomasʼs England training kit, across official photography and media coverage, and throughout the year as we collaborate on content, training moments, matchdays and behind-the-scenes updates. Weʼre proud to be part of the journey and proud to support the wider work the England Amputee Football Association is doing to grow the game and inspire the next generation.

Welcome to the team, Thomas!

FOOTBALL JOURNEY

THE ORGANISATION

England Amputee Football Association

The England Amputee Football Association (EAFA) “is the recognised national body for amputee football in England. Their mission is to provide competitive football opportunities for amputees, from grassroots participation through to international competition.

One of the key aims of the EAFA is to offer an inclusive environment for amputees, providing them with opportunities to be part of a football community, whether through training sessions, competitions, or social events. They also work on raising awareness of the sport and how it can positively impact the lives of amputees in terms of fitness, mental health, and social interaction.

The England Amputee Football Association coordinates the England Amputee Football League (EAFL), which features clubs such as Everton, Chelsea, Cambridge City, and the Amputee Football Association Scotland FC (AFAS)

THE JUNIORS OF ENGLAND AMPUTEE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION

Supporting the Next Generation

Itʼs also important to recognise the work organisations like the England Amputee Football Association (EAFA) are doing—not just at elite level with the National Team, but critically at grassroots and junior level. Through structured programmes and dedicated junior football camps, EAFA provides children aged 4 to 17 with limb differences the opportunity to take part in football in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment, led by fully qualified coaches and tailored to all abilities.

These camps are about far more than sport. They create:
• Confidence and resilience
• A sense of belonging
• Physical and mental wellbeing
• A pathway into competitive and even international football

In many cases, young people arrive believing they may never play again—only to rediscover not just the game, but their confidence and identity. This is where the work becomes truly powerful. Because when we talk about sustainability, it shouldnʼt only be environmental—it must also be social. At Japanese Knotweed Agency, we are proud to support this wider mission. Through our involvement with EAFA and athletes like Thomas Atkinson, we are helping contribute to something much bigger than our day-to-day work. Because building a better future is not just about restoring land and protecting biodiversity.

Itʼs about creating opportunity, supporting people, and investing in the next generation.
