Does that mean everyone offered contracts signed them from the academy?0

Great to see the faith in what has been a very talented bunch of youngsters. 3 year deal for Leaburn is interesting when compared to the others. Clearly rated very highly.9

Has Carl shrunk or is Miles v.tall?1

Great news and very much like what the club are doing at the moment. TS clearly sees the value in the academy and glad Adigun has been signed up.8

Lovely to see Chris Parkes being invited along by the Leaburn family.18

Good investment from TS.1

I had a quick chat with Tracy before the game on saturday,she was very positive about the coming season,and was extremely happy that Miles and some of the other lads are getting invaluable experience being around the senior players.Personally thought that Miles looked a class act,ball control and awareness of what was going on around him was a bit special for a youngster.15

Great to see the academy youngsters seeing their immediate future with us and signing their pro contracts, now let's see some progress onto eventual first team involvement, and not moved onto yet another prem clubs sub bench...0

More of this please. Well done all involved, especially the lads who have put the graft in.3

Jeez - when I met Carlo last year, he towered over me, albeit I am short - Miles is taller than his Dad 👀, and is probably still growing !!1
-
Absolutely smashing, what a lovely start to the week and hope that we can keep them a while, thriving in our first team.2
-
Shame that Miles is signing a Staff Pass Request Form and not a Contract!20

Miles looks to be 6’5”0

let's hope they all make the giant step to become EFL/Premier players0

Good caring family.
Miles is a real unit, so impressive on the ball v Dartford.
Great to see the next generation.
Early days & I’d want to see him in action v div 1 or 2 teams, but I’m not ruling him out being our 4th striker - instead of Davison.
Also he doesn’t take up a squad place.0 -
Please allow for an ebb and flow of form for Miles for a while.
Great news regarding the signings.
I know a lot can happen, and it may not work out for all of our young guys, but to me in terms of the sheer number of decent prospects we’re in a bit of a golden era.1 -
Great news and yes that’s all we offered deals to signed up. Williams and Harvey were already pro so they were confirmed in another article. Here’s the original announcement:

It feels like it’s been a while since anyone broke through and become a regular starter. I won’t be surprised if one or two make an real impact this season.
Having a pathway may look like a lack of investment from TS but there’s no point spending millions on the academy every season (and more with cat 1) if the opportunity isn’t there.
We have a manager who is a proper coach, plays a style academy players will fit into and we’re in the third tier - in fact I’ll be disappointed if we don’t see some become genuine first team players.
Won’t guess who as I haven’t seen enough but it makes a real change to have a few really promising strikers.4 -
Miles on Saturday and the Leaburn chant.
