Pathway to the first team success

SRFC Academy

Under the leadership of Andy Turner, our Academy & Development Squad aim is to produce players with first team potential, and so far, this season Jack Sandel (Goalkeeper) and Lewis Keeling (Midfield) have trained regularly with the first team and have made appearances. Jack has also had several games at Eccleshall FC on dual registration forms.

Other players were given the opportunity for game time in the Staffordshire Senior Cup versus Kidsgrove, and their attitude and hard work has now paid dividends. We are pleased to confirm that Miles Mawson (Defender), Max Barlow (Defender/Midfield), Henry Brereton (Midfield) and Fletcher Rushbury (Striker) have all signed first team forms and are training with the first team. Their challenge now is to work harder and push for a place in the match-day squad. Other players are expected to follow, subject to injuries but the message is clear that if the correct attitude is shown together with hard work and commitment, opportunities will arise.

All players will continue to play for their respective youth and academy teams, ensuring regular game time and further development.

Well done to all !
