Youth Development Week Special

Season 4, Episode 28,   Feb 10, 2022, 06:00 AM

It’s EFL Youth Development Week, and in order to shine a light on the brilliant work done in our EFL club academies up and down the country, Mark Clemmit speaks to Steve Avory who’s worked in Charlton Athletic’s academy for more than  20 years and now runs the operation. Steve and his team have produced the likes of Jonjoe Shelvey, Ademola Lookman, Joe Gomes and Ezri Konsa to name but a few, and are one of the most admired academy set ups in the country. Elsewhere, a recent head injury forced Wycombe Wanderers legend Matt Bloomfield to call time on a long and illustrious career, and he’s keen to make people aware of his experiences, and Clem also speaks to Newport County's goal machine Dom Telford, about staying on top of the goalscorers chart, in the rough and tumble world of Skybet League Two!
