Overview[]

The U18's 2017-18 season saw another strong influx of academy scholars, with new signings Timmy Abraham from Charlton, Ben Davis from JSSL Singapore and Elias Frei (brother of former White Kerim Frei) from St Gallen.

Scholarships were also signed by Zico Asare, Luca Ashby-Hammond, Scott Armsworth, Ryan De Havilland, Sonny Hilton & Showkat Tahir. Matt O'Riley also signed a scholarship, but his playing time was spent with the U23 squad.

Colin Omogbehin, promoted from the U16 squad, began his first season in charge of the team after Mark Pembridge's role change as assistant to Peter Grant in the U23 squad.
