Bailey Kontor & Hussain Shah (U14) Reuben Campbell, Ruben Lewis, Rui Da Costa, Devonte Aransibia, Keiran Roland & Billy Golledge (U13) all represented S&T at the trials and all 8 players where successfully selected, with our Under 13 players going straight into the Pro League Elite Squad & our Under 14 players going into the development squad with every opportunity of progressing into the Elite squad for their age group with many of the trialist they played with or against today being a year older.
The Pro League Elite squad is the players below professional teams Academy squads, so it gives individuals the perfect platform to showcase their abilities with opportunities to eventually be moved up to the full Academy squad and with games already arranged against the likes of Arsenal, Brentford, Brighton & Coventry City the boys will be playing in a number of top level games throughout the season with a maximum of 20 to be played.
Today's stand out performances from the boys go a long way to endorsing the whole S&T product and after clinching our first trophy last week and the manner & maturity in which the players have approached these games especially after a long hard season could only make them better for the whole experience.
The players will continue to train & play for S&T but will receive a significant amount of extra sessions with Charlton and that can only benefit all parties involved.
