“I am buzzing to get started with the new season. With the reserves, my aim is to create an environment where we are able to compete at the right end of the table, whilst allowing individuals to develop and maximise their talent. I am looking forward to seeing players that perform for the reserves being rewarded with opportunities in the first team and I feel my relationship with the first team and U18s coaching staff and being involved assisting the first team will help to promote this pathway further.”
