The all-new team will compete in the Conference Youth Alliance League against clubs like Fulham, AFC Wimbledon, Gillingham and Dover Athletic during the coming season.

A spokesman for the academy said: “The link between the two organisations is a major step forward for football development in the community, and gives students from William Parker a fantastic opportunity to train three times a week and play U19 football at a very competitive standard at The Pilot Field while taking their A-Level and B-Tech courses, as well as coaching and refereeing qualifications.”
