Elite Development Squad players Quincy Patterson and Tom Dryer have been drafted into the first-team training squad following a good start to life in the third year.

Jody Brown explained, “Tom’s been with us before, and having been doing well with his loan club, then grabbed 4 goals for the academy against Boreham Wood on Wednesday. We felt it was a good time to take another look at him.”

“Quincy’s a midfielder who already has a lot of senior football experience. The reports from Matt [Winter] at the academy have been positive for a while now, so we wanted to get a closer look at him in our environment.”
