Unfortunately, Jack suffered a very serious injury as a youth from which he never recovered. Similar to Wayne Harrison we will never know how good he could have been.

This is the Academy Youth team many of which are first year scholars, signed early summer 2023 in time for a full pre-season. They play in the North West EFL Youth Alliance. This is Chuks Akuneto’s group. Indeed, some of the older, more experienced lads are out on loan. Then there is the Youth Development squad. Most, if not all are first year scholars. This group was established late August 2023 and despite their tender age (16/17) they play in the North West NL U19 Alliance. This is Nicky Adams’ group. He hopes to improve the squad sufficiently to allow some of his boys the chance to step up to the level above. I’m led to believe that both groups also receive an onsite education with tutors delivering level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Sport and Physical Science. The infrastructure is certainly there, but is currently in its infancy. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Absolutely nothing to lose by blooding him in some way have we? Nobody is ripping up trees at the moment, so let's give young talent a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sharp and lively, with an eye for goal, Moore has been recalled by Oldham although Reds would have liked to keep him until the agreed date of early January. Moore has decided to return to the National Conference League side in the hope of getting an opportunity in the first team, boosted by some good displays while on loan with the Cumbrians." It could be Mellon wants to take a look at him in a matchday scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
