#ITFC have given squad numbers to their 33 professionals today (including Ellis Harrison).
14 of these players have come through the academy (42%).
At least 6 of these, possibly more are part of the genuine first team squad of 22/23
- Elkan Baggott one his first cap for Indonesia U19s as they won 4-1 earlier today - congrats @ElkanBaggot #itfc
- Congratulations to @myleskenlock who became the 9th academy graduate to make 100 first team appearances for #ITFC
- Congratulations to @lukewoolfenden, the young CB made his 50th appearance for #ITFC yesterday, now played over 100 games of senior football after loan spells at Bromley & Swindon The 17th player from the academy who has made 50 appearances for the club - sure will be many more!
- Blanchfield picks up his second yellow, ref hasn't noticed though so not sent off. #itfc
- Good to see that Bailey Clements and Jack Lankester have been rewarded for their performances in the U23s this season and have travelled with the first team to Swansea this weekend. Bailey is still a club U18, both have recently signed pro deals. #itfc
- As per earlier number crunching - here are all the Championship stats
- So the Paul Hurst era is over before it really began, personally I was very disappointed with the way the academy boys were sent out on loan when they could've contributed. Hopefully the new manager looks within at the quality we have coming through and uses it. #ITFC
