For the 203/24 season the club are running an under 18’s side in the Hampshire Combination & Development League and the Development squad that competes in the Wiltshire Premier league. This is ONE squad and each week some of the U18’s will feature in the senior dev side.

The Squad

Ernie (Ozzy)
Goal Keeper

Age 29

Ernie is genuine nice guy and a class keeper to. Has had two spells helping the Dev out and is now seeing the rewards as 1st team no2.

Ashton Gale
Full Back

Age 17

Ash is a brilliantly talented lad with feet to die for. One we have high hopes for as he grows (if he does).

Carson Arnold
Attacking Mid

Age 17

Cars is a influential play maker who can change a game in an instant. Scores a few bangers too. Glad we don’t have to play against him.

Marcus Read
Attacker

Age 22

Marcus is in his 1st season with the side and has settled in really well. Works his socks off as the saying goes.

9

Dylan Christie
Goal Keeper

Age 17

Dylan has come through the youth and now is U18’s and Dev keeper.
He has started the season well, and that after an entire season out with an ACL injury.

Omario Henry
Striker / Winger

Age 19

Mo is an absolute rapid lad that frightens the life out of defenders and me, you wonder if he is going to able to stop before he hits the wall. Scores a few too.

Harry Cooper
Left Back

Age 16

Coops is an U18 that also features for the Dev a fair bit. A bit of a trend setter sporting the Mullet hair style. I didn’t realise it was even back as a thing.

Gary Hind
Full back or Wing

Age 23

3rd season with the club, a versatile and hard working player who will leave everything on the pitch

Max Allen
Defender

Age 21

Max is another that’s come through the 18’s into the development side. Got a sweet left foot and is big and strong, still learning

Dan Bazen
Defender / Midfield

Age 16

Jayden came to the Dev via our 1st team in pre-season. Scored 2 belters on his debut with us, and found the spot again in our first league fixture.

Harry Mealing
Anywhere

Age 17

Harry made 5 Dev appearances last season and probably played a different position in each game. Prefers wing though I think. Gritty and tricky

Prince Mundy
Defender

Age 17

Young lad in a body of a 20 year old. Strong and determined, when his hammy holds out. Has had a good start to the 23/24 season.

Jamie Wintle
Centre Midfield

Age 17

Jamie is a classy and tough tackling box to box player. Has a fantastic attitude to go with the ability as well.

Tom Edwards
Defender

Age 21

Tom is the skipper this season and a calming rock at the back. Has improved his all-round game year on year since youth days. A leader in many ways.

Charlie Wooding
Midfielder

Age 17

Charlie is another huge prospect for the club.
Has everything to his game and has already made his 1st team debut this season.

Dyllan Roocroft
Winger / Striker

Age 17

Dyll has progressed quickly as a player at the club and is on southern league forms as well as Dev. Very quick, skillful and knows where the goal is too.

Naman Gurung
Winger

Age 17

Namz has all the tricks in his box for a young player. Come through Oxford Utd’s ranks and we look forward to seeing how he develops.

Craig Roocroft
Lead Coach Dev

Craig is a extremely well qualified and passionate coach who has developed Many of the current squad since youth times.

Mark Winter
Manager Dev

MW has been with the youth since 2010 and is now heading up the Development phase of the club.

Nick Edwards
