Last week, the Academy held their Induction Evening with the new full-time scholars spending time understanding what it means to sign for Peterborough United and how they can be supported on their journey.
Academy Director Dan Robinson introduces the new in-take;
- George Bucknor - Goalkeeper: Signed this season from Norwich City, a tall agile keeper who has impressed during a trial and earned a scholarship with us. George has already played for our Under 18s in preparation for coming in with us as a full time footballer.
- Oliver Arber - Defender: A tall competitive ball playing centre back who has come through our Youth Development Phase and has featured in our U18s already this season. Ollie is the son of former Posh defender Mark Arber.
- Harry Bushall – Defender: Harry is another graduate of our schoolboy programme having been at the club since the Foundation Phase. A full-back who likes to get on the ball and is a competitive one v one defender.
- Callum Fraser – Defender: A left footed tall athletic centre back who has come through our Youth Development Phase and shows the technical attributes of a Peterborough United defender.
- Alan Ndonjang – Midfielder: Alan is a product of Newcastle United’s Academy and after a successful trial has earned a scholarship with us at the Posh. A versatile midfielder who can play in multiple positions, Alan is effective in and out of possession.
- Malachi Norville – Midfielder: Mal has been with us for the past couple of seasons joining in the Under 15s and is a powerful central midfielder who breaks up play and creates goalscoring opportunities.
- Kurtis Simmons – Forward: Kurtis has come through our Youth Development Phase and is a typical Posh front man with pace and the ability to go past defenders. Kurtis can play across the front line.
Bolu Shofowoke – Forward: Bolu is a product of our Youth Development Phase and has played week in week out for the Under 18s this season leading the front line. A powerful, quick centre forward who has scored over 30 goals this season already.
