Released U18s keeper Alan Fleischer is on trial with Sunderland, while defender George Iorpenda is spending time with Huddersfield Town.

Fleischer played for the Black Cats U18s in their 3-1 defeat to their Newcastle United counterparts on Saturday.

The second-year scholar, who spent time on loan at Heybridge Swifts earlier in the season, is being released by the Blues at the end of the season having been at the club since the U9s.

Centre-half Iorpenda is on trial with the Terriers and played alongside his elder brother Tom, who has made a handful of appearances for the West Yorkshire club’s first team, for their B side in a 2-1 defeat to Mansfield Town’s U21s at the end of last week.

Iorpenda, 18, who was on loan at Brightlingsea Regent earlier in 2024/25, is another set to move on this summer.

Meanwhile, schoolboy academy keeper Ruben Wreford was at an England goalkeeper camp at St George’s Park for the first time last week. Wreford, who is from Essex, has been in Town U18s squads this season.

trevski_s added 16:49 - Apr 28 Best of luck to all those getting released. Never nice to get released so early into your career but im sure they will find clubs and go on to do well. I hope the club releases the full list of those being released this year as I dont think last years one showed all the academy players leaving (showed some) and would be nice to know which are leaving
