“This is a fantastic opportunity for our players to commit to full-time football, travel on tours and gain a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma, which is equivalent to three A-Levels.

“We are committed to taking our development of young players from strength to strength. With the recent success of young players into the first team like Shea Kearney, Sean Moore, Ryan Corrigan and Coran Madden, everyone can see the pathway”
