Huge congratulations to Year 11 students Sam and Angus, who have been invited into the Newcastle Red Bulls U16 training group.

This is a fantastic achievement for both boys and a real reflection of the hard work, consistency and determination they’ve shown over the season. Selection into the U16 group places them in a high-performance environment and is a well-earned step up in their development pathway.

The programme brings a demanding but exciting schedule, with training twice a week alongside a series of Inter-Academy Festivals taking place at Penrith, Warwick, Keighley and Scotland.

Both boys continue to represent their school and club with pride, and this next stage is thoroughly deserved. Well done!
