Light refreshments will be provided and the presentation will commence at 11:00 in the newly refurbished MCS Centre at the club. Eddie Humphreys said “The infrastructure is now in place to move the Youth Development of the club forward and build on the success that the current U12s, U16s and U18s have had. We have highly qualified and enthusiastic coaches, some from professional academies and qualified to UEFA levels, now we need the players! We are looking for players with potential to progress, who are willing to listen, learn and who are committed. The emphasis will be more on development than results and we need people to buy into that. Our aim is to produce more local talent for the first team and beyond and provide a clear pathway of progression for the players. Grantham Town FC has a long and proud history and is highly regarded as a club in nonleague circles, so, if you think you fit the bill to represent the club then come and attend the Open Day”. For the 2013/14 season the Club are looking to recruit players for the existing U18s, new U16s and a combined new U15/U14 Development Squad. Players are also being sought for next years U13s.
