"We've had a couple of real good boys with us [in the first team squad] this season; the likes of Cain Smith, Zayn Hakeem and Tom Marriott, but the step is huge [to the senior side].Â
"Having the U21s will allow us to keep some of the U18s for an extra year or two and give them an education as well. They'll be entered into a reserve league and it's a major step for our club, there won't be many others [clubs] at our level doing this."
