Winger Kingsberry, aged 17, who has been awarded a squad number this
season and 17 year old striker White are two of an ever-growing crop of
young internationals at the Academy of Light.

Academy Director Kees Zwamborn said:

a great honour. This emphasises the depth of talent we have at our
Academy and also the ability of our coaches to develop this talent and
bring youngsters through the Academy system."
