Wouldn't it just be easier to post a link to either the Youth team on the official site or the academy website?

E.G. https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2018/april/meet-the-new-scholars/


you could but info on there is sometimes limited, especially below U18s level, will put link to academy website in anyway: http://www.gtfcacademy.com/

Good thread this and it would be great if can start seeing the youngsters progress to the first team. Also what a dream if we have another Buckley leading Town to success in the future.UTM

The Youth Team is looking strong going into 2018/19, they will be a good shout to win the league (got their highest finish since 2010's relegation last season, with 5th). Brandon is certainly good enough to be playing at this level in a year or two in my opinion. I think its a shame that Rumarn Burrell doesn't get the same amount of attention though, he is easily on the same level as Brandon, and could be a good goalscorer in future.

You cant have too many goalscorers. Cant we get game time elsewhere where they can show their talents

Would be good to keep this thread going throughout the season to see how they’re getting on.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

They both played a few times for the Reserves, I think the same will happen again this year. I know both scored a couple for the reserves also. Cant see them getting contracts earlier than the end of the 2018/19 season when their scholarship finishes, so the best place to see them would either be at a reserve game, or at a YT game

This should be made a sticky thread in my opinion, so we can talk about progress made as the season goes along.

If we have enough quality to win our youth league I would rather see some of the standout performers depart on loan and be challenged.

The old saying if they are good enough then they are old enough. Town have had Drinkell,Lund,Wilkinson,Clare,North,Lester,Taylor,Bore,Rowan all play and score for the first team whilst in there teens after coming through the ranks Lets hope these two lads get added to the list.UTM
