The B Team is also building up to the new campaign and completed its first full week’s pre-season training at the weekend.
Coach Andy Taylor led a squad including the new group of first-year professionals, who have stepped up from the Whites' Youth Team.
A number have also been training with the first team and featured in Saturday’s behind-closed-doors friendly against Tranmere Rovers.
