Queen's Park has made a significant move in the transfer market by signing two key performers from the under-17s squad, Caiden Wright and Lewis Smith, to their under-19s team. The duo will play a crucial role in the upcoming season.
What's the Impact?
The signing of Wright and Smith is a significant boost for Queen's Park's under-19s team. Both players have shown impressive skills and leadership qualities, and their addition will strengthen the team's chances of success in the upcoming season.
Who Are They?
Caiden Wright and Lewis Smith are both talented young players who have been with Queen's Park for several years. Wright has played for both the under-17s and under-19s teams, while Smith was captain of the under-17s team that won the league and CAS Cup double last season.
What's Next?
The under-19s team will now have a strong foundation to build on, with Wright and Smith leading the way. The team will face a challenging schedule in the upcoming season, but with these two signings, they will be well-equipped to handle the demands of the league.
Next fixture: vs Ayr Utd (at home, 2027-01-02) (5th in the table).
Coach's Reaction
Charley King, the coach of the under-19s team, was delighted with the signings. "Lewis came into the Academy from Rangers two years ago and has shown good leadership qualities. He was captain for the league and cup-winning under-17s and he'll captain the under-19s this year. As a left-footed centre-back he's very comfortable on the ball and we'll look forward to developing him further against a higher level of opposition and working on his concentration."
