We are pleased to announce that Academy goalkeeper Josh Schofield has signed a full-time professional deal with the Club, on a one-year contract.
Josh, 17, has previously spent time in the academies of Chester and Blackburn Rovers, and becomes the fourth Academy player to sign a professional deal with the Club so far this year, after Jack Hopkins, Max Greenhalgh and Finley Stanyer.
Our Head of Academy, Damien Allen, said:
“Josh has come into the club during pre season and has done extremely well. He is a modern day keeper who has excellent distribution skills and accomplished handling skills.”
“We are delighted to have secured his services. At just 17 years old he will be a key part of our U19 team for the next 12 months and will train with the first team goalkeepers at Carrington.”
“He is at the start of his final step towards first team football and I am excited to see how he develops along this journey.”
