Does anyone know if any of the lads in the academy have been offered professional contracts this summer? For the last few years it was usually announced with the retained list, but there was no mention of the academy this time round.

As far as I know, nothing has been announced. I don't know if any new ones are knocking on the door. ÑC may also await player in and out movements this time. It would be nice though if there are one or two who can not be ignored.

Clough has put great faith in the academy having seen positive results at Derby and Sheff Utd, but putting them into the first team when ready is brave, when it is a results business. With Cloughs experience at Burton working on a limited budget giving chance to youth was necessary to reduce cost and put them in the shop window. One bonus they are more willing to lose any bad habits.Working with 5 out of the academy at Derby,Sheff Utd was another rescue act and he payed a lot of attention to the academy.But the club needed a shake up from top to bottom,and with relegation staring at them the first team was priority. He still had the chance to give a couple first team experience. Back with the brewers after 3 seasons our young players are our lives blood,and Clough admits we need their youth and passion. to subsidise our affordable first team, 3 more given contracts. I feel a contract with the brewers will be good for them, Burton Albion will not give you a contract you have to earn it [well done young men ]

Was interesting to read today that our academy is to provide the brewers with players for the first team,and has priority to focus on the next squad player. So it is part of the football club and supplies many of the squad this is the responsibilities on the coaches that run it. Burton Albion are a selling club to survive at this level,and more worrying cannot compete with wages paid by bigger clubs in league one. This means our academy is our foundations and must thrive

The main worry about what Nigel said is that offers could be made for one or two in August. This could be difficult for us to handle.

Looks like we have three new graduates from the Academy all signing their first pro deals. Two of them on six-month deals and one on a twelve-month deal with an option for a further year. Have to say, I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Ethan Vale, winner of the Scholar Of The Year Award at the presentation evening and he comes across as a very mature young man who has shown a great attitude towards his studies as well as his football. Bit of a set-piece expert by all accounts too so one worth looking out for. www.burtonalbionfc.co.uk/news/2019/may/0805-prodeals/
