This is very good news, 6 of the young players are staying, I think with the players leaving we will see even more of these next season, also one weird thing to point out it says Mark Patterson's development squad, I thought it was Darren Hare's development squad, or is it because they are now reserves and that is what they call it as I have the feeling this may mean Hare may not be the manager of the youth team. http://www.gillinghamfootballclub.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10416~2775550,00.html
this can only bowed well for the club, signing these six up...just hope they all get a chance though ?! our youth set up i think is the way forward for the club, just like crewe fc, even though they sell every player they produce...they are financially sound. so if we were to take the same approach, we may just improve as a team and club...along with keeping these players to move forward and up the leagues !
