General New Scholars

Just for context, ten players will be leaving the scholars this summer (Pro deals: Niall Clayton, Matt Berry-Hargreaves, Albie hopkins, Aaron heap, Dejon Noel-Williams // released: Ben Chillcot, Nathan baker, Dan Carr, GRaham Bryan, Rex Mannings)

seven players will be entering their second year: Freddie Niblett, Harry McDonnell, James Cowan, Aaron McREadie, Kyran Lofthouse, Ryan Crooks & owen James (who has already been given a pro deal, but is technically only a 2nd years scholar).

So this will leave a fairly standard sized squad of 16, supplemented by lads from the U16s....

The more interesting detail is the five/six getting pro deals, and rumours of a more structured dev squad returning next season. Add to these Agboola, Baptiste, Napa and perhaps Kelleher, then that is the basis of a team, supplemented by a couple of older fringe players, but I wonder whether we will see the same kind of additions that we did when the Lenagans first set up the Devs (eg Ruffels)?
