Background 

The Development Team was introduced for Season 2009/10 to provide a route for talented players from the Junior Section of the Club and the Academy to make the transition to adult football and hopefully, in due course, the First Team.

The decision to create this team was taken as a result of an approach to the Chairman and First Team Manager from the management of the previous season’s U16’s who had to decide whether to enter a team in the Youth section of the Midland Junior Premier League (a league they had been competing in for the previous four seasons), or risk losing players they had been coaching for between 1 and 11 years to other clubs who were offering the chance to play adult football.

In addition to the development of Junior Section and Academy players it was expected that there would also be scope for First Team Squad players in need of matches to improve match sharpness or returning from injury to have a game.

As the emphasis of the team is to be primarily young players who had been playing junior or youth football it was decided to call the team a ‘Development Team’ rather than ‘Reserves’.

The Hellenic League was thought to be a suitable league for this transition and it subsequently confirmed acceptance of the team into Reserve Division 2 (West).

The young team adapted well to the rigours and physicality of adult football and completed their first season as Champions of Reserve Division 2 (West).
 
Season 2010/11 will see the Development Team competing in the Hellenic League Reserve Division 1.
