Cambridge City FC are thrilled to announce the promotion of three promising young talents from the youth ranks to the first team. This move not only underscores the club's commitment to homegrown talent but also signals a promising future for the players and the club alike.

Speaking of the trio, Charlie Collard, Paolo Marce-Mosig & Will Fridd – Head of Youth, Neil Midgley told us, "All three boys have demonstrated exceptional skill, dedication, and determination throughout their journey within the Cambridge City FC youth system. Their promotion to the first team is a testament to their hard work and the efficacy of the club's youth development program. We couldn't be prouder of them right now"

The decision to promote these young talents to the first team aligns with Cambridge City FC's philosophy of investing in and developing local talent. By providing a pathway for aspiring footballers to progress from the youth ranks to the senior squad, the club aims to create a sustainable model for success while fostering a sense of community and pride among its supporters.

Speaking about the promotions, Cambridge City FC's Manager, Robbie Nightingale, expressed his delight about the prospect of working with the boys.
