About

Doubled Sports Agency is a long-standing London-based football agency built around Darren Dein’s two-decade relationships with elite players like Thierry Henry and Cesc Fàbregas . The group positions itself as a boutique “global” agency, managing careers from Premier League and LaLiga to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and emerging African talent. They focus on both top-flight professionals (e.g. Manchester United and Villarreal clients) and a growing pipeline of U23 prospects across France, the Netherlands and the UK. Beyond transfers, DOUBLED’s agents support commercial deals, post-career transitions into coaching or ownership, and cross-border moves such as Henry’s investment and ambassadorial role at Como 1907.
