Toto Nsiala, Louis Barry and Kayden Jackson are all in the U23s side facing leaders Bristol City behind closed doors at Playford Road in Professional Development League Two South this afternoon (KO 1pm).

Yengi, who is 6ft 5in tall, was previously with A-League side the Newcastle Jets. His older brother Kusini plays for Adelaide United.
