“I am delighted to have agreed this deal and for the Academy to have a guaranteed home at the Alan Higgs Centre until at least 2023. I would like thank Paul for all his help and support, and also the parents, players and staff for their patience while we concluded this long-term deal.

“We can now plan for future with confidence and look forward to the Academy improving even further with the security that this five-year deal brings to us.”
