Good luck to him. Saw him score a hat-trick in a Youth Cup tie for Welling U18s v Elmstead U18s. Centre Forward. Was strong at U18 level. He was also playing for Maidstone United U23s at the time.
Was very impressed with his movement, composure and finishing in the semi final against Brum. Was quiet against Wigan but then so was the whole team. Glad we've signed him up would be good to have an academy striker break through into the first team.
Pleased you have a great result from all the hard work you have put in. Enjoy the moment and plan for the next step. Good luck and looking forward to seeing you run out at the Valley.
You can still watch the u18 semi and final back on YouTube.
He scored the winning goal in the semi with a very composed finish in added on time, it’s here from 2:01:30:

Good Luck Mason Burstow. The road is long and hard to rise up the pecking order while staying fit and also as a striker being fed the ball when you are taking up good positions.
I would love to see a striker take time but get through to our first team. Our problem is we need him to progress but not too quickly or he get bought by Chelsea and is then loaned out for 5 years to the highest bidder.

Academy players signing pro contracts or youngers signing extended deal announcements have been a bit thin on the ground recently
Keep on working.
Congratulations!.
