Kyle Dixon Offered A Professional Contract

[Chris]

There's some good players in our youth system, I feel it's good to see us 'developing' them and with the right push, hopefully some can play a bigger role in our first team. Kyle Dixon had a pretty good game last Friday against Walsall, he reminded me Neal Bishop with his calm collected way of playing. He looked up for it, often making up for the odd mistake he made also.

He's confirmed that a professional contracts been offered and I personally hope to see a few others follow in his foot steps.

When was the last time we pushed our youth system like this? Surely it's the early 90's to the late 80's?

Hopefully your youth system will provide some good players to help CK.

The youth systems are there for the long haul though and some years will provide different quality and quantity.

Not quantity but quality is important. Most clubs give up on youths rather easily, if they 'mentor' them and make sure that they stand on solid feet. Well it's a case of people coming through and establishing themselves.

What I meant was that some years you may get a few quality players come through and another none that are up to the standard required.

It's an ongoing process but is very rewarding at times, just look at the youngsters who have come through at Derby and made a name in the first team.I just hope we can hold on to them

Its great to see youth players getting contracts, it may encourage others aswell. Its a brilliant way to bring players into the team and i hope they do their best in the first team. I have not seen them myself as i haven't been to a youth team match but Joe has.

Good luck to all the young lads.I hope they all do well for Notts and help make CK's job that bit easier.

Chris has been doing better with signings and offering contracts than the recent managers, so theres an improvement there.
