Congratulations to you both. You must have worked hard and given up a lot. Wish you all the luck in the world.

Athletico Charlton

Good luck to them both.  Anyone know anything about either or which ones wondered off to sign for better clubs this year

Keefe is an under 18 centre half who has played there for the under 23's recently. Looks solid and comfortable in possession. Never heard of Powell. Maybe one of the many trialists lately as academy's release players?

Good luck lads. It's great to have another Powell at The Valley.

Powell been with the club a few years now, think was with Millwall at U13 level. Has been out injured since last summer and only just back playing. Turns 19 next month.

Powell is local, played for VCD as a kid. Keefe is out of Croydon

With another summer of rebuilding ahead & yet another small squad, expect to see one or both of them thrown into first team action as some stage
