Amir joined Guiseley on 11th July 2025 from Emley having spent two seasons there.

Berchil netted 18 times in his 50 appearances for Emley in the 2024/25 campaign as he helped power them to the play-offs in the Northern Premier League Division One East.

Born in London he and his family moved north to be closer to family and he dismissed his early attachments to London clubs Chelsea and Watford as ‘just one of those things most young footballers do’.

After starting his Yorkshire football journey at Nostell Miners Welfare he quickly made his mark and started to attract the attention of other clubs making his way through Yorkshire Amateur, Albion Sports, Thackley and North Ferriby, where he spent two seasons, to end up at Emley last season where he quickly became a crowd favourite.

His form at Emley piqued Guiseley’s interest and after speaking to manager Mark Bower, and on the back of recommendations from former Guiseley players, he decided that Guiseley was the club for him.

He said: “It was an easy decision to make once Guiseley showed interest in me. Having lived around Leeds for ten years I knew what sort of club they were and it was a step up for me. Guiseley always seemed highly regarded by people in non-league football and I knew a lot of lads who were in their Academy who always spoke highly of them.”

At the end of an exciting 24/25 campaign for the winger Berchil was named in the Northern Premier League East Division Team of the Season and was crowned the division’s Young Player of the Season.

Amir also won Emley’s Players’ Player of the Season and The Roger Wood Memorial Shield to cap off an excellent campaign.
