This new team will provide a vital stepping stone for our youth players, offering them the opportunity to experience competitive men’s football and bridging the gap between the youth and first team.

As part of this restructure, our U21s team will be disbanded. We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Nathan Harrop and his coaching staff for their outstanding efforts over the past two seasons. Their leadership saw the team crowned league champions in their first campaign, and we are grateful for their dedication and professionalism.

The Curzon Ashton Reserves will play on Saturday afternoons and will train and play home fixtures at the Tameside Stadium.

Trial dates will be announced in due course and we look forward to seeing the next generation of Curzon Ashton talent take on this new challenge.
