The youngsters have impressed this campaign in the youth system. Andre Harriman-Annous has impressed with the U18s, while Nathan Butler-Oyedeji impressed with the U21s.

Andre Harriman-Annous, a versatile and clinical forward player, has showcased himself in the U18 Premier League, scoring eight goals and providing two assists in eleven league appearances.
