Gone are the u23s, the powers that be have decided that it's to be u21s again at the end point of football academies.
New signing Ben Blythe is entering his u21s season, so will be an overaged player for our reserves next season. With a two year contract we'll be hoping he's ready to make the step up sooner rather than later. Wasiri Williams is in his u23s season, so is already overaged. Things for the club to think about. |  | | |  |

Waste of time in all honesty to play guys like Williams and Blythe at their age in the U21's. By the time the season starts and they find themselves out of contention for a first team place, and before the window closes, best to offload them on loan. | | | |

I read something about teams being able to field 5 overage players.
Also, does EUFA still encourage players who start in under 21 international competitions to remain playing until the end of the competition which would take the older players to 23 if their nation progresses?
TBH if you are 21 and not playing senior football at some level it is very unlikely you will make the grade. |  |

If Wales had qualified for the u21s Euros, Brandon Cooper would have been 23 when the finals are played in June next year. Ollie Cooper is only a month older and wasn't eligible for any of qualifying.
With this campaign over, Brandon, Dan Williams and Lewis Webb all no longer qualify for Wales u21s duty, although Webb is still an u21 in domestic football because we go by school year (Sept 1st) rather than calendar year (Jan 1st). | | | |

When does this come in? Surely they can't just decide this and do it instantly, that's hardly fair on clubs or players. | |
