First pro contract for Dorrington

We are delighted to announce that Alfie Dorrington has signed his first professional contract with the Club.

The central defender, who celebrated his 17th birthday on Wednesday, joined our Academy at the age of 13 and went full-time with us as a scholar last summer.

An England Under-17 international, he stepped up to make three appearances for our Under-18s during the 2020/21 campaign while still a schoolboy and has played 24 times in all competitions at that level so far this term, scoring once.
