Change In Under 21 Management
Chris Llewellyn has been replaced as manager of our Under 21 side but is being reported by the Evening Post as being moved to being in charge of the Under-15s for next season with Neil Adams taking over at Under 21 level
Adams will be supported by Eric Ramsay who worked alongside Llewellyn last time around.
The Under 21s will compete next season in the Premier League Under 21 league where they will come up against the likes of Arsenal and Aston Villa
"Naturally, they are challenging fixtures," Adams said.
"But I think the style of football we play will suit category-one competition a lot more than the games we were involved in last season.
"It will be an adjustment for the players but its one where they will relish the opportunity to compete against some big clubs and good players.
"We also have six under-18 players as first-year professionals this season which means we will have a young squad at our disposal.
"It's a step up for them early on in their development, but the boys are looking forward to it and I'm confident they will do well.
"We have a trip to Holland coming up which will be beneficial and our pre-season programme as a whole is geared up ready for our opening league fixture against West Brom (on August 10)."

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
