This wide ranging discussion included coach education, playing style and philosophy and the opportunity for the Academy players to access resources from physiotherapy to nutritional advice.

With Dave Harbinson recently stepping down from his role as Academy Director, the Chairman highlighted that the club will be inviting applications for this position next week.
