The club are excited to announce a new management team for our renamed Development team, the side will now be called the U23’s.

Getting back into a managerial seat within the club is Ryan Collings. Ryan has a storied history with the club, being involved in previous first-team management setups and having a very successful spell managing our previous ADL & North Bucks side.

Appointed Assistant Manager is Alan Todhunter, Alan brings a vast knowledge of youth football and is a level 2 FA Coach. Alan also stepped in midway through the season to support Daniel Mcateer with the development side.

Leading the coaching for the U23s is a gentleman that is quite a coup for the club. Neil Mitchell is a UEFA B qualified coach (& FA Youth award, GK level 2, futsal, Talent ID, ex FA coach mentor.) Neil was previously working at the Wycombe Wanderers Elite Development Centre.

We are also happy to announce that Dave Percival will continue in his role as secretary for the U23’s, Dave has been in the role since the side's inception and brings tremendous value and passion to the role.

Ryan had this to say, ‘I am excited to get back into managing within the club, being able to keep Alan, Neil and Percy within the set up for me, is critical to the success of developing the young talent in the club. Our shared passion is getting these players to fulfil their potential and go on to represent the senior side with Batch and his management team’
