City's Academy Boss RIchard Stevens told Laura Hunter: "Over recent years, there aren't many Academies which can match our record of getting players into the first-team and we're immensely proud of being able to give local, talented players a chance in the game.

"I'm a firm believer that all clubs should have local representation in their first-team to embody the passion of its City, and our club has certainly had that.

"I'm in no doubt this Academy will continue to provide the first-team with local talent and the production line looks healthier than ever."
