Former Premier League defender who quit football at 25 now runs own fashion brand
Manchester City's academy, and the defender even had youth caps for England.However, the promising star was only able to manage one first-team appearance at the Etihad, and after a series of loan spells, moved to Doncaster.And it wasn't too long after he hung up his boots, now a Bolton man.Wabara took the brave decision to move out of football and head into fashion as he struggled to juggle the two carer paths simultaneously.And in 2020, his fashion brand, Manière De Voir, registered sales of £23.4million with £3.3million worth of profits."I asked, where can I maximise my potential to be great? I knew the odds were heavily against me being a Champions League and England footballer," Wabara told The Times.“I always had a way of dressing that was different and Lewis [Morgan, co-founder of Gymshark] said to me, ‘You should do something in fashion'."And so Wabara launched his brand with an initial investment of £15,000.It started out as a menswear brand, but the former City starlet soon realised there was more money to made in womenswear. What do you think of Wabara's career change? Let us know in the comments section Wabara had originally tried to juggle the two career paths, but management at Bolton had questioned his focus: “They said my focus was split."For three years Wabara worked “seven days a week, and [it was] relentless.”However, hanging up his boots appears to be the right decision, with the Manchester-based business now flourishing.
