And Matthew Todd who made his 1st team debut in the FA Cup, whilst still at the academy.
We are not aware of any other non-league club that has continually developed ‘academy’ players by improving their technical, tactical, physical and psychological profile, and turning them into professional footballers.
Academy player Adam Etches signs his 1st Professional Contract.

- You will meet the latest academy player to sign professional.
- We will give you full details of our football timetable that includes training every day like a professional.
