Wanderers' new-look Youth Team is going through its paces as they build up to the start of their season next month.
The influx of new scholars to the Whites’ Academy has joined last year’s first-years to form the squad which started pre-season training last week.
Julian Darby and Danny Clark will again be guiding the youngsters along the next stage of their Academy journey as they look to build on last season’s outstanding success at youth level.
Wanderers won the Lancashire FA Youth Professional Cup and were crowned national EFL Youth Alliance Champions after winning the league’s northern section and then beating Luton Town in the national play-off final.
Many of that victorious side have now stepped up to the professional ranks with the B Team and Steven Schumacher’s first-team squad, with head youth coach Darby now looking to nurture the next batch of young players representing the Whites at U19 level.
