muirinho Zammo Green Wondered what the trophy actually looked it so I took the trouble to google it
Saw us lift it in 2022. That got me thinking, I wonder what happened to those kids that day.......
READING U23 4-0 ASCOT UNITED
Reading U23: Andresson, Sackey, Samuels, Craig, Holzman, Ashcroft, Giscombe, Leavy, Camara, Bristow, Melvin-Lambert.
Subs; Norcott, Abbey, Scott, Okine-Peters, Ehibhatiomhan.
A fair number of those still with us.
Kian Leavy plays for St Pat's in Irish Premier Division. Louis Holzman is on loan at Bohemians there, but I don't think he has been playing for them.
Linford Sackey (assuming it's him) was released by us, went to Bolton and released by them in the summer. Haven't heard if he went elsewhere.
Bristow is now in Minnesota, via Tranmere Rovers. Think permanent.
Edit: Tyrell Ashcroft went to Spurs U21s end of that '22 season. Haven't heard anything of him since then, but he appears to be still there.
Think Ashcroft got a really bad knee injury about a year ago and hasn't played since.
Holzman hasn't played a minute in the league at Bohemians but played the full 90 in the Leinster Cup final and got half an hour in the FAI Cup - wouldn't say the loan is going well.
Melvin-Lambert is now at Weymouth but may actually be on loan at Harrow Borough
Ethan Bristow did indeed move permanently to Minnesota.
Lynford Sackey is without a club
Imari Samuels is at Brighton in their u21 squad with a couple of EFL Trophy apps to his name
Kian Leavy left on a free to join St Pats.
Andresson, Craig and Camara are still with us and near/in the first team although the former on loan at Carlisle. I think Giscombe is Anjari Giscombe and he is in the u18s
Of the bench
Norcott - made debut v Swindon
Abbey - first choice CB and sometime captain
Scott - without a club, looks like he did play for Derby in the PL2 but must have been on trial and didn't get a deal
Okine-Peters - fairly regular in the U21s
Ehibhatiomhan - assuming this was Kelvin and not Princewell - if so, current top scorer for the first team.
