Academy contract update

We are delighted to announce that Kallum Cesay, Kacper Kurylowicz and Rafferty Pedder have signed their first professional contracts with the Club.

Kallum, 18, demonstrated his versatility by impressing both in central midfield and at right-back for our Under-18s last season, making 18 appearances in all competitions and scoring four goals at that level.

He also stepped up to make one substitute appearance for our Under-23s in the Premier League 2, which came in a 3-0 home win over Manchester United in March.

Now moving up into the Under-23 squad full-time, he has signed a contract that will run until 2022.

Goalkeeper Kacper, 19, is now entering his second full season with our Under-23s, having made two appearances in the Premier League 2 as a third-year scholar last term, the first of which came in a 4-1 victory over Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He has signed a contract that will run until 2022.

Midfielder Rafferty also stepped up to Under-23 level as a third-year scholar last season, making nine appearances for Wayne Burnett’s side.

The 19-year-old has signed a contract that will run until 2022.
