Released Ward Joins Woking
Tuesday, 20th Aug 2024 12:34

Released Town youngster Matt Ward has joined Vanarama National League Woking on a permanent deal.

The 21-year-old forward was among those to depart at the end of the season and having been on trial with the Cards in pre-season impressed enough to win a contract.

Ward made one senior appearance for the Blues, as as sub in the 4-0 FA Cup victory over Buxton in January 2022.

While with Town, Ward, who joined the club from Norfolk side Wroxham’s youth set-up in 2021, spent time on loan with Derry City and last season with Braintree Town.

Is there a list of which U18 and U21 players have been released?
Or who is still here?

@NorwegianTractor I asked this a while back as they never put it on the list out anywhere when the main team releases were announced. The ones I know have gone are Jack Manly, Cameron Stewart, Seth O Neill, Danny Cullum and Ben Haddoch but there may be more

It would be transparent of the Club to let supporters know who was released from under 18 and under 21

It’s rare more than a couple get taken on beyond an initial pro contract if that. My sons mate got blown out by Gillingham but is now playing with Freddie Sears at Chatham.. So decent level and decent money.

@trevski_s - yeah Town are not very good at giving updates on this. I have also got most of the ones you mentioned (not O Neill) as i believe there has been stories posted on TWTD on their new clubs - but . Also Nick Nkansa-Dwamena and Alex Graham left for the US.
Been trying to see who's been playing pre season games, but hardly any lineups available.
Some players I haven't seen in any lineups posted are: Agbaje, Lavin, Moodie, Boatswain, Uzor-Greey - but could still have played games or been injured. Also been a while since Buabo was mentioned - think he played the Bantham game.

I think Agbaje went with the squad to Austria and I know Buabo stayed with the U21s that stayed in England (didnt go to Austria or Canada) as he still works on his comeback from his injury last season. Its weird they never said anything this year though as they have always said which main, academy and women players get released

To add to the players listed above, I believe I have read that Zak Bradshaw, Finlay Corrigan and Henry Curtis have also been released from last year's squads.

Come on Town, even in the the bad, bad old days (thank you, the Foundations), you used to issue an list each close season of released younger players, including those on professional contracts and those at the end of their Academy contracts, who were not be offered professional terms. Some of us like to keep ourselves up to date on such relative minutiae, sad though it may be.

I haven’t seen much of this lad but was hopeful he could make it, he looked to have good ball control and quick feet. Hope your career takes off young man with this move.

BotesdaleBlue heads up, Finlay left in the Jan 2024 window of his own volition. He successfully secured a move to SPL Dundee FC. He’s on a very positive development pathway!
