Since Clifton and Wright have recently been given long contracts with the first team, I thought I would start a Youth Team Watch for the possible GTFC players of tomorrow. Feel free to put forward your own suggestions!

Brandon Buckley
Signed: 2017 Position: Midfielder/Striker
The grandson of Alan Buckley, Brandon Buckley has played a significant number of the Youth Team games this season and has featured in some reserve fixtures. He has captained the Youth Team on several occasions and went on to win the Player of the Year Award for the U18's. He has proven himself as someone who can both create chances and score goals.

Rumarn BurrellSigned: 2017 Position: Striker Rumarn was the Youth Team's top scorer this campaign, bagging 16 goals for the U18's, plus two more for the reserves. He was nominated for the U18's Player of the Year, but lost out to Brandon Buckley. He has been nominated for the LFE Goal of the Month award (voting closes on Tuesday, vote here: https://www.lfe.org.uk/goal-of-the-month/goal-of-the-month-may-2018). A Youth Team stalwart last season, he is certainly one to watch in the coming campaign.

Mattie Pollock
Signed: 2018 Position: Defender
Mattie is the son of ex-Middlesbrough and Man City player, Jamie Pollock. He is a towering defender who played for the Youth Team for a large amount of last season, despite only being 16. Even though he was playing up he year, he did not look out of place. Mattie won the U16's Player of the Year award, and it would not be a surprise if we saw him being offered a First-Team contract before the end of his two-year scholarship.

Ollie Battersby
Signed: 2017 Position: Goalkeeper
Ollie was also nominated for the U18's Player of the Year award. He is a tall 'keeper with a good reach. Featuring as the Town U18's number one this season, Battersby pulled off some wonder saves, notably saving a top corner penalty against Mansfield Town in the Youth Alliance Cup. Don't be surprised if he ends up being the understudy to McKeown soon.

From what I have heard, none will be. The outgoing second years were the last lot to have been recruited when we were still in the conference, if my memory serves me right, so I think part of it is about quality. Not 100% sure though

Reese Jahoo
Signed: 2018 Position: Striker
A bit of an unknown entity going into the new season, Reese is coming all the way from North Carolina. He is said to have scored many goals in his native country, but he may struggle to break into the side if Buckley and Burrell start the season in the fine form they ended the last one in. It is probably still worth keeping an eye on him though!

a ragtag bunch of us have a 5 a side session one night a week and there are a couple of acadamy players who occassionally pop down...wont name them but one is U-14 this season, the other a little younger....both are very neat players, not fussed about getting stuck in against players twice/ thrice or more their age.......but... they do play with an intelligence as well, especially when not in possession,which is good to see. How they stack up ability wise against others of the same group/ age i have no idea in all honesty but both have the makings of decent little footballers.
