Now, ahead of the 2022/23 season, it’ll be another summer of change at Middlewood Road, and not just for the seniors…
It was confirmed in March that Kwame Boateng, Alex Bonnington, Josh Dawodu, Lewis Farmer, Charles Hagan, Jayden Onen, Josh Render, Declan Thompson and Liam Waldock would all be moving on at the end of the season from the U23s, with Basile Zottos being added to that list a couple of weeks ago.

Both the U23s and U18s will have a different look to them in upcoming campaign, with several players from Andy Holdsworth’s side taking the step up into Neil Thompson’s ranks as the previous season came to an end.
And Moore will no doubt be taking a look at some of the club’s young players when they return – probably sometime next month – on top of the younger established players such as Ciaran Brennan, Alex Hunt and Ryan Galvin.

Moore is set to bring in plenty of new players this summer – but while his squad is assembled then it's a chance for the young Owls to show what they can bring to the party.
