Fair few Irish, our Spanish wonder kid and one from Croydon!

Looking forward to see how they get on

 

[Superseagull]

Looks like a decent league for the U18's this year in terms of the quality of opposition. Should help with the development of future 1st team players and hopefully attract some more young talent into our academy.

 

[Rookie]

Newbies:
Owen Moore (Stanford-le-Hope, Essex),
Rian O'Sullivan (Tralee, Ireland),
Luis Garcia (Gran Canaria),
Jayson Molumby (County Waterford, Ireland),
Thomas Byrne (Dunleer, Ireland),
David Ajiboye (Croydon),
and Daniel Mandriou (Dublin, Ireland)

Joining last years players:

Reece Meekums (Brighton),
Danny Barker (Brighton),
George Hobbs (Southwick),
Max Sanders (Horsham),
and Archie Davies (St Leonards)

Now managed by Ian Buckman and assisted by Adam Hinshelwood. Ben Smith has taken on the u16s

Just to be clear, those 12 players are ALL new first year scholars this season.

They join 8 existing (and now second year*) scholars to form a squad of 20 at U-18 level:-

Thomas Cadman
George Cox
Jordan Maguire-Drew
Remi Meyers
Robert Sanchez
James Tilley
Bailey Vose
Ben White

* Tilley and Sanchez have signed professional contracts

DO you know what positions they all play I cant seem to find a list anywhere ...

DO you know what positions they all play

I have a pretty good idea, based upon U-18 match reports, etc.

I cant seem to find a list anywhere ...

Me neither. But keep your eyes peeled on NSC; you never know, someone might produce an informative article about all our scholars at some point.....

That's accurate, although forwards arguably wide forwards, some would count that as midfield. Interpretation really.

How old is Sanchez? Must be highly rated if on a pro contract.

Is he on Pro contract? If he is, I assume 17, as have to be 17 to sign pro. Plus would make sense as 1st year scholars 16/17 age group and 2nd year 17/18.

In May the club confirmed he had been offered a professional contract:-

SEVEN OFFERED DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTS

Seven of Brighton & Hove Albion’s under-18s squad have been offered development contracts.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez (17), defenders.....

Although I'm not sure when Sanchez' birthday is, so can't confirm with 100% confidence which age group he fits, I strongly suspect that he is the same age as this year's second year scholars. He went to Portugal with the U-18s last July, and 2014-15 would have been his first scholarship year, but I understand that there were some issues with gaining international clearance, and he didn't play a single match for the U-18s or U-21s last season.

That listing is a bit of a hodge-podge, mainly last season's 1st and 2nd year scholars with a couple of the new 1st years from this season thrown in (George Hobbs and Max Sanders).

Luis Garcia is a new 1st year this season.

 

[Turkey]

Where is Luis Garcia in all this

Garcia is a an attacking mid/forward
Owen Moore is a defender who was at Arsenal
Pretty sure Molumby, Ajiboye, Mandriou and Meekums are midfielders
Rian O'Sullivan is left sided but not sure if that's left back, left mid, or both.
Not sure on Byrne, Barker and Davies.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Whats the story with Garcia? Any relation to Oscar? Who spotted him?

Good to see the club giving the U-18 squad some exposure last night:-
