Few bits to update on this Luca Williams-Barnett is an U15 player like Junai Byfield but they play up almost every week above those in the current U16’s.I don't know if Bromfield has definitely gone. Has that been confirmed?
The ones that I think that are definitely going to be offered deals are Goalkeepers Blake Irow and Dylan Thompson, Defenders Malachi Hardy, and Elijah Upson, midfielder Tye Hall, Attacking midfielders Luca Williams-Barnett, Miracle Adewole and Shakil Nicolaou and northern Irish striker George Feeney.
That's nine, ten if we include Byfield. We usually take on 12-16 lads.
The other lads who might get something are defenders Finlay Barnard and Yerime Ouattara, midfielders Tyler Tingey and Cameron Thomas, attacking midfielder Leon Myrtaj and forwards Ronny Moncur and Tynan Thompson.
From your list I think Junai Byfield, Harry Byrne, Jamel Beggs, Reiss Dennis Elliott-Paris and Ademide Akakriki are all in the year below.
The lads who have moved on in the last few months I believe are goalkeeper Micah Haley, defenders Ezra Agyekum and Harry Webb, midfielder Samal Bangura and attacking midfielder Indiana Pedder. I also need to check to see if Ronny Moncur and Tynan Thompson are still at the club. They may have moved on as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if we signed two or three players to add to this group. We're apparently very interested in signing Hertha Berlin's midfield wonderkid Boris Mamuzah Lum who's the same age as this lot.
Some talk that Shakil Nicolaou may not be offered a scholarship certainly had not been offered as of March.
Would be surprised if Ezra Agyekum has left as another who often started as a left-back for the 16’s despite being an U15. Often starting in front of Bromfield maybe why rumours of him leaving.
