Should we be worried that he is shown signing wearing spectacles?

No. That's referees! 😉

Didn’t we sign a keeper on loan from city already for the U18 this season? Will happily be proved wrong but arguably GK is the one position we haven’t really ever produced a quality player through the academy. I always thought Bycroft looked like he had a bit about him but he’s been on loan in non-league for two years and has disappeared out the picture a bit. Wright has looked decent as well. Good luck to Jak hopefully he becomes a force in the youth team this year.

It was Eric Hanbury from Man Utd.  Think we've had a few injuries down there as we've had an U15 keeper on the bench recently.

Jeffries hasn't played all season and Hanbury hasn't featured for about a month so not sure if he's injured too.
