I've seen both on at least 10 occasions within the last 2 year and have to say how much thompson has come

anyone seen these 2 play much? hope these are better than our currents young pros.
Although i do think Yeoman has ability, but cant see he or Halpin getting chances.
And Palmer i think will be let go when his deal runs out as he wont see any action either

correct decision to keep thompson!

Mckenzie has an attitude at times!

Good news there. I havent seen much of the Youth team but I'm surprised Latimer wasnt kept he always seemed to be scoring a fair few goals.

Pleased for McKenzie and Thompson - especially so given that they have got two year deals. To me, having watched a few Youth/Reserve team games over the last couple of seasons those two they were always the stand out players in the group, but nevertheless feel sorry for the others who never gave less than 100% whenever I saw them and I wish them all the best of luck in their future careers.

Kirtys McKenzie and Niall Thompson given two year deals. The rest have been released.

Good luck to all the released lads, hope they make a career in the game.

This stage of the season is a very nervous time for young players, not just youth team player but centre of exellence lads aswell, mainly from u-12 up to u16 they have contracts aswell and a fair few at the older age groups will also find them selves being released, good to see the club does have a support network for these lad's, as for many it's a crushed dream.

I think it's very important at this level for the manager to fully involved right throughout the youth system, it's so important for the long term health of our club to bring young players through as we all know, just look at Crewe 7 of thier current first team have come through that club's youth system.
