Kodua has 35 career appearances (none for West Ham) and 3 goals, and this is his third loan after spending two previous spells with Wycombe. Forbes made 12 appearances for Bristol Rovers on loan last year, and also previously went on loan to Colchester United but didn't play, and has one cap for Northern Ireland.]]> https://whu606.com/discussion/12174/academy-pl2-2024-25 Tue, 06 Aug 2024 13:52:50 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 12174@/discussions Kristztian Hegyi is spending the season with Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership. He's likely to second choice this season, as Aston Oxborough started for them in the league over the weekend. BUT Oxborough has been #2 there for a while, so it's not nailed on that Hegyi won't make the starting XI eventually. He has started both Challenge Cup matches so far, too, so hopefully he gets some decent game time. Centre half, and Northern Ireland international Michael Forbes is with EFL League One side Bristol Rovers for the season. Forbes hasn't had a sniff for us, but he has played for his country already. I'm not sure how much he'll play, as Rovers have 5 centre backs on the books. However, one of those is 35 year old James Wilson who only managed 26 appearances last season and one, Dan Ellison, is stepping up from National League South side Chippenham. Forbes will probably be competing with Connor Taylor, who was pretty much first choice last season, and new signing Taylor Moore spent time playing for Valenciennes in France last season, but who didn't play a minute after February. Another centre back, Levi Laing, will be in EFL too, this time in League Two with Cheltenham Town. You might remember Laing from his substitute appearance in a 4-0 Conference League win over AEK Larnaca in March 2023. Laing might have a better shot of getting som gametime, as there are only two other proper CBs on Cheltenham's books. Tom Bradbury has been with Cheltenham for two seasons, but only has 35 league appearances from a possible 92 in that time. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Bakare has joined, but he only has experience playing in the Canadian Premier League for Vancouver FC. I wasn't going to bother mentioning this last loan, as it's to a side outside of the football league, BUT I know there are a few Urchins fans on here, so, young goalkeeper Mason Terry will be spending the year with Hornchurch. He played against Hornchurch last year for Concord Rangers, and - according to the Hornchurch website - stood out against them.]]> https://whu606.com/discussion/12274/oscar-fairs Sat, 14 Dec 2024 10:29:00 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 12274@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/11972/bristol-street-motors-trophy Wed, 06 Dec 2023 00:07:10 +0000 PL2 & Academy MrsGrey 11972@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/11796/academy-pl2-2023-24 Thu, 11 May 2023 09:52:26 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 11796@/discussions https://www.whufc.com/news/12-academy-youngsters-sign-scholarships ]]> https://whu606.com/discussion/11825/another-addition-to-the-academy Fri, 30 Jun 2023 13:40:23 +0000 PL2 & Academy DJ Hammer 11825@/discussions ]]> https://whu606.com/discussion/11786/fa-youth-cup-final Tue, 25 Apr 2023 13:00:43 +0000 PL2 & Academy DJ Hammer 11786@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/11611/academy-pl2-2022-23 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 07:40:21 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 11611@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/11484/academy-pl2-2021-22 Fri, 05 Nov 2021 09:04:25 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 11484@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/10802/academy-and-development-squad-developments-2019-20-now Fri, 01 Feb 2019 11:00:51 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 10802@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/10625/academy-and-development-squads-2018-19 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:28:15 +0000 PL2 & Academy alderz 10625@/discussions https://whu606.com/discussion/9737/academy-and-development-squad-developments-2017-18 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:23:07 +0000 PL2 & Academy MrsGrey 9737@/discussions
