Steve has impressed in his first season in charge of the U18s and will now oversee both Academy teams (U18 and U23) assisted by Conner Tuff.

Dominic Webster has left his role with Emley AFC. The club wish him the very best of luck for his future endeavours and thank him for his efforts over the last 3 seasons.

Steve says, "I'm excited to take on the role of managing the U18s and U23s teams this season. Last year’s achievements were positive and progressive, and I am eager to build on that momentum. Dominic has laid a fantastic foundation, and I am committed to continuing his good work. Together, Conner and I will strive for excellence and foster the growth and development of our young talents."

Marcus Pound, Emley AFC Vice-Chairman said, "We really appreciate Dom's commitment to Emley Academy over the last few years, he developed many players during this time who have gone on to play for the first team. We know Steve will drive the Academy success for the coming season and will continue fostering our close relationship with our club partner, Yorkshire Regional Talent Centre (Yorkshire RTC)."

The U18s continue in the Junior Premier League and FA Youth Cup. After a season as an U21s in the Worksop Van Hire league, the older age group have reverted to being an U23 side playing in the centralised West Riding Development League.
