FC United's Bright Young Stars to Shine into Next Season

FC United’s Bright Young Stars to Shine into Next SeasonFC United are delighted to announce that we have signed our most exciting young prospects Kieran Glynn and Mike Jones on extended contracts until 2018.

19 year old Kieran joined the club via Hopwood Hall College at the start of the season and has impressed everyone with his performances when pulling on the red shirt, scoring three goals in ten games so far this season .

Karl Marginson said, “The offer of a contract extension has come about because of his performance, attitude and the way in which he has adapted to adult football. He has made a big impact in a short time and we look to continue his development here at the club.???



Mike Jones, a central figure in the side which this season got to the FA Youth Cup 1st round for the first time in our history and who recently made his 1st team debut in the Manchester Premier Cup at Abbey Hey, has also committed his future to FC United. Mike is a player already attracting recognition, representing the Manchester County FA side and in the England Schoolboys setup and we look forward to seeing him develop within our squad.

FC United CEO Damian Chadwick remarked that "Mike is a very talented young man with an attitude that could take him a long way in football. We are delighted that he considers FC United to be the right place for him to develop his career. This club is committed to developing exciting local talent; it is the United way".



In coaching news, Tom Conroy, our Sports Development Manager, will take charge of the reserves for the rest of this season. Tom is an experienced coach and holds a UEFA B coaching licence.

We can also confirm that Jack Dickenson, our Academy and Senior Community Coach, has enrolled to do his UEFA B licence and will start this in the New Year and Karl Marginson has enrolled to start his UEFA A licence this coming spring. We wish them all well and look forward to supporting them in their continued personal development.
