The short answer is yes, but for us recently it’s been slightly different as we’re rebuilding the academy after admin. Last year we signed Riley Moloney, Dajaune Brown on pro deals aswell as getting in a lot of new signings for the 21’s most notably Tony Weston and Bartley. We also have a very talented u18 group coming through so want to ensure we keep as much of them as possible. So it is more than we’re use to in recent times and it’s actually a sign of us getting back to normal on the academy. The main reason it does look so different is we’re signing less external players for the 21s and promoting more internally. 

Almost all U22 players are on pro deals. They're on scholarships typically for 2 years in the U18s, and then get offered pro terms when stepping up to the U21s. The 7 players listed have all completed their scholarships and I'm surprised it's been announced this late.

Some of the high performing scholars get offered pro deals earlier. Kei Robinson got his towards the end of last season. JThompson, Allen, and McAndrew all signed their pro deals when they turned 17.

Shattell spent last season behind Evans and JThompson as U21 GK and only played in a couple of games.

I'm not a fan of Hawkins being moved to LB. He was started to develop his end product as a CM, and Gill showed a lot of promise at LB. It's also odd playing Spencer on the LW (not for the first time) - we signed him as a CM who had also covered at CB, RB and LB for a few games at Leeds.

Anyone reading that report might think it was our first XI, and that the final score was 5-2!

Anyone know who scored our goals?

Both Thompson and new signing Luthra featured for us in pre-season but I have not seen any news about Harry Evans? Is he injured? Can anybody update me please.

He got injured in training, his dad was rather open on Twitter about it. He's out for a few months.

How does a 'ruptured quad' happen, there seems a few of them about and I've not heard of it before. Seems a bit like when metatarsal injuries suddenly became 'all the rage'?

There were rumours/whispers at the time that Collins had slid in on him to win the ball and took him out, but nothing substantiated. Take with a pinch of salt on that. What matters is he's seriously injured for the long term.

There's an echo in here @Srg😉

I find it interesting that Mansfield have felt the need to make a statement about (if I've read it correctly) a player from the u13s. They must think he's special, or it's a chunky deal for someone so young.

I think you’ve possibly misread that (it’s not a very well worded statement so I might be wrong myself 😂) - think it’s saying he joined the Under 13s and had been with them for 4 years since.

EDIT:  sorry, rereading the statement again and I think you’re right - agree it must be a deal of substance one way or another for a kid do young
