    Interesting to see albeit that is simply a list of our entire U18 squad last season (as quoted in our website) and I would be surprised if we have signed them all up.  Fingers crossed.

    Ed. There is an interview with Steve Avery on the website, right at the end he mentions 10 of our scholars having got their first pro contracts.  In my list above there are 11 (but Anderson sign last season so 10 without him).  So Casey, Kone Laqueretabua may still be with us but don't appear to have signed yet for sure.

    Fantastic to get Casey signed on a 3 year deal , hopefully we see a bit of him in the EFL Trophy. Looks a real talent.

    PHEW!! - Love this kids confidence.

    Only just signed his first Pro Deal and he wants to score another 42-goals and make his First Team debut.

    Wont be surprised if we see him in the EFL Trophy at some stage.

    Very good news. Most people initially watching him play might wonder what all the fuss is about.
    Over 40 goals last season is the answer. He has the knack.

    Was getting worried that everyone else was signing & nothing from Patrick. Delighted he’s signed up now and looking forward to seeing him progress over the next few years. Could be a very special talent ☘️

    Fantastic news. A real prospect and must have had others chasing him. Well done the club

    Kone would be well worth a contract, and Kedwell puts me in mind of a younger Dobson.
    Don’t know enough about Myers.
    Didn’t we used to have a Cliff Myers?

    The club has done superbly to get so many signed up. Shame that Beadle left and by the sounds of it now Kone has followed him out the door as they both look like very talented keepers.
    Great the others have shown more loyalty to the club though

    With Kedwell signing a pro deal does anyone know if we’ve ever had a season where we’ve signed so many scholars to pro deals, from the same group?

    Brook Myers (mentined above) is a really exciting talent however I understand he may need to do some work on his social niceties.......

    I really hope he can address this aspect because he definitely has ability...but that's not all you need

    There is ridiculous level of talent on that list.  It does seem like a conveyer belt of academy plays for the first team in next couple of years. Kanu and Mitchell are probably now first team squad members instead of youth players. 

    Hoping to see two of the 21s friendly this summer and at least 1 papa johns game. Exciting time for the academy.

    Highlighted ones not yet signed.  Phenomenal effort by this group of players that so many have contracts, and great effort by the club to tie them down.

    Kone;                       Possibly gone to Qatar
    Asiimwe,                 Signed
    Mitchell.                  Signed
    Laqeretabua.          Signed
    Hobden.                  Signed
    Bower.                     Signed
    Gough.                     Signed
    Kedwell.                   Signed
    Anderson.                Signed
    Huke.                        Signed 
    Rylah.                        Signed
    Casey.                       Signed
    Kanu.                         Signed
    Okechukwu.             Signed
    Myers
    Enslin.                        Signed

    Others listed on our website in the squad (I suspect 1st year scholars as none have been announced as signed that I am aware):

    Yamoha
    Hand
    Berry
    Batt
    Molneux
    Danso
    Hunter
    Okwumo

    When you add the likes of Leaburn, Mitchell, Ness, Campbell, AMB, Kanu, Adigun, Ladapo, Chin, Elewere, Williams, Toure and others I am forgetting we have an incredible group of young players for a L1 club.

    The only one who has definitely "got away" recently is Beadle I think.

    I've cut the quoted post down just to say that Molyneux and Hand are now U21's. They were late additions to the U18s and are too old for that level now (born before 01/09/2005).

    Molyneux has been playing this pre-season, so must have a contract. I haven't seen Hand in any line ups, but that could be due to injury.

    Molyneux was on the bench against Millwall.

    Have seen him play several times. Looks a very capable keeper.

    I am a season ticket holder like others are. In the past you could pitch up of a Saturday morning at Sparrows Lane and watch.
    The lockdown and regime changes seemed to stop all that, but I wonder if it is now possible to see these games in person once again.

    The U18's followed up last week's 4-0 win over Wigan with a 3-1 win against Crewe Alexandra, this afternoon.

    Other notes:

    The U18s will not be taking part in the Premier League Cup with category 1 teams, this season. They are back in the PDL cup with category 2/3 teams. The other teams in their group are Wimbledon, QPR and Watford.

    The U17s will be playing the Premier League Cup against category 1 teams. The other teams in their group are Aston Villa, Norwich City and West Ham.

    Kone;                       Gone to Qatar
    Asiimwe,                 Signed
    Mitchell.                  Signed
    Laqeretabua.          Signed
    Hobden.                  Signed
    Bower.                     Signed
    Gough.                     Signed
    Kedwell.                   Signed
    Anderson.                Signed
    Huke.                        Signed 
    Rylah.                        Signed

    Kanu.                         Signed
    Okechukwu.             Signed
    Myers.                      Still with us
    Enslin.                        Signed

    Yamoha.              Still with us
    Hand
    Berry
    Batt
    Molneux
    Danso.                 Still with us
    Hunter.                Still with us
    Okwumo.            Still with us


    So based on most recent U18 line up our U18 squad from last season mainly signed or stayed. We lost one.  Four unaccounted for.  Seems unusual the club didn't give a wider update, I think they usually do in U18's.  Good luck to the 4 if they have left.

    Henry Molyneux played for the under-21s at Hull and was on the bench for the Millwall friendly. I don't recall seeing anything about his contractual status, but I assume that means we signed him at some point? Still here, in any case.

    The U18s opened their PDL Cup campaign with a 4-3 win at AFC Wimbledon.

    Watford beat QPR 8-0 in the other group game.

    He's on the OS U21 squad page so I assume he signed a contract and they just hadn't announced it anywhere at the time.
