RYAN FORDE

Highly-rated young keeper who has developed significantly as a player and person after benefitting from the experience of breaking into the Reserves and playing senior football at just 16 years old.

Part of the club’s first Academy squad, he played an important role in their impressive FA Youth Cup run and has added a vocal presence to his other qualities as an excellent shot-stopper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet.
