Overview[]

The U18's 2019-20 season saw the return of Steve Wigley as head coach after he stepped down from his position as Head of Academy Coaching.

There were a total of seven new scholars stepping up from the U16 squad, whilst new signings were brought in to strengthen the team. Goalkeeper Damian Las from Chicago Fire, centre back Jay Williams from Newport County & striker Jay Stansfield from Exeter City were all welcome additions.

After winning 12 of their 17 League games with the team in 1st place, the season was unfortunatly put on hold in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus outbreak that had swept the globe. All academy football was cancelled on 1 May 2020, with the decision made on final positions made at a later date.

On 7 August 2020, it was announced that all League positions would be decided by PPG (Points-per-game), and thus the U18 squad were crowned as champions of the U18 Premier League South. Unfortunately however, the national play-off final against the U18 Premier League North champions (Manchester City U18) would not take place.

The stand out performer by far was new recruit Jay Stansfield, whose 26 goals in just 18 matches earnt him an early call up to the first team along with Sylvester Jasper, who also had a strong season.
