Announcement from the club today regarding next years youth squads.
Firstly, the new Scholarship intake, looks a strong group, with a couple of real standouts...East Leeds 12 and Guisely rangers 3, and a good few very good players just behind them, maybe equal to them depending on opinion. Like i say, strong group
Some names missing from last years intake, im guessing must have left the club, who are very good players. If they have left, id be suprised if it was the clubs choice, Scrum half from saddleworth and prop/13 from Fev lions. The Fev lions lad is one of the best players his age group in Yorkshire imo. For me, this isnt a great group if they've left, Kevs lads a class act at half though.
Harvey Oldroyd, a Centre from Gannon and Edwards Siddal team, looks to have left aswel, everyone was after him when he joined our Scholarship. Happy that Alfie Edgell, Kai Morgan, Max Simpson, Ethan Spear and Will Gatus have signed Academy contracts, along with Gannon and Edwards on pro deals, they were the players i was hoping to keep from, what would of been, this seasons 2nd year scholarship players. Very good group, up there with the better ones we'v had imo.
Just four 3rd year Academy players next season, Tindall, Hall, Mallison and O Burton. Two good groups with the 2nd and 1st years should make for a young, exciting U19 team.
