“This represents very positive news for the club, the Academy and U23 side.  An enormous effort went on behind the scenes from staff such as Tom Beaumont (head of education), Sue Whittaker (head of Academy operations) and support was provided by senior staff at the club such as first team manager Neil Smith.

“We were assessed in key performance indicators, further commended on our vision football syllabus and player pathway.

“Although it was a very challenging process, as a club we aim to take advantage of the opportunity to be compared with EPPP Football League Academies and to identify where we can improve.
