The Tudors would like to take the time to congratulate former U18s goalkeeper, James Taylor on securing a professional contract at Premier League side Newcastle United.
The 18-year-old shot stopper secures a two year professional contract with the Magpies, after coming through the ranks at The Tudors in which he also featured for the first team six times in all competitions in the 2023/24 campaign.
This included an FA Cup start away at Gorleston back in September of last year, where his impressive performance earned him the Man Of The Match award in a 0-2 victory on the East Coast.
A bright personality, JT was a key figure in writing recent history with our U18s side, reaching the third round of the FA Youth Cup in the 2023/24 campaign, narrowly being knocked out on penalties by Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Furthermore, the young keeper also helped his side in achieving multiple trophies during the season, as well as captaining England's schoolboys side, playing against the likes of Wales and Northern Ireland.
On signing for the Magpies, James paid testament to the club and it's personnel for their support;
"A massive thank you to everyone at the club for giving me the opportunity to step into senior football. Even bigger thank you to both Dmitri and 'Kingy' [Craig King] for all of their support and guidance."
We would like to again thank James for his commitment in his time at The Tudors, and wish him well for the future.
