An application has been submitted for an Under-23 side next season, which will be based out of our home ground at Badgers Sports Club and play on Thursday nights.

On the move, club chairman Marc Mortlock said: "This is an exciting move for the club and one that provides a valuable pathway from the youth team to the first-team.

"After taking over the youth set-up last season, we have been actively looking to introduce an Under-23 side to supplement the teams at Under-16s and Under-18s, creating a clear route to senior football.

"We're delighted to get this over the line and are excited to see the club develop."

Season ticket holders for the first-team will also get the Under-23 matches included completely free of charge. More details about season tickets will be released in due course.
