Elder members of last season’s Under-18s team will now play more regularly for the Under-21s.
Youngsters from the previous campaign’s Under-16s side step up into the Professional Development Phase, which will further focus on individual player development next year with an increase in flexible coaching.
Wales Under-17 international Gabriele Biancheri joined the club last season.
The initial intake includes 11 players, with many of the group already experiencing Under-18s football last season, with the promotion of youngsters above their age group helping to further their development.
The players listed below will experience a range of coaching, playing and educational opportunities as they continue to work towards becoming established professional footballers.
