Stevenage Football Club Academy announces intake of new scholars ahead of the 2022/23 season…
Ahead of the upcoming campaign, both the second-year scholars and new apprentices have reported back to Shephalbury Sports Academy keen and eager to continue their development at Stevenage Football Club.
Professional Development Coaches Chris Agutter and Ronnie Henry produced an intense pre-season programme to prepare the youngsters for the new season, which kicks off on Saturday 6th August.
All players in their Under-17 year are required to start the season on a scholarship agreement, before they are permitted to sign a first professional football contract on or after their 17th birthday.
We spoke to Academy Operations Manager Jorden Gibson about the eight new scholars:
