Callam Packard was an Associate Schoolboy with Norwich in 1998/99. After leaving Norwich several clubs showed an interest in him, but he decided to stay at school, firstly to complete his GCSE's.

He returned to his native Hertfordshire (he was born in Welwyn Garden City) and played for his local club Welwyn Garden City. He then was approached to play for Hertford Town, which he played for a season,having several more non league clubs wanting to sign him, but he then took a year out from playing football to concentrate on his A levels.

After achieving good A level grades he turned out for Unison (University of Hertfordshire Branch) in the Welwyn Hatfield Sunday Football League Division One when health problems allowed him to. In September 2002 he went to university with the intention of playing football at a semi professional level again, but on the first day at university he was taken seriously ill, which left him in hospital for nearly 4 months, he is now better and hoping to get the all clear soon.

He is hoping to return to university and football in September 2003.
