Local lad makes first team for Worcester City FC

A local 17 year old soccer player, Louis Bridges, described by his manager as an "academy ace" was called up by the Worcester City FC first team last week. Now Louis from Bearwood is hoping to make a name for himself in a Worcester City shirt on a regular basis.

According to the Worcester News last week:

"The academy youngster was a surprise inclusion in the squad to face Bromley at the weekend and didn’t replace Matt Dodd until injury-time in the 1-0 victory. However, Dryden has been impressed by what he has seen of the attacking left-sided 17-year-old and is prepared to give him more minutes. The City manager said: “We had a practise match a couple of weeks ago when we didn’t have games and he did really well.

“I have been to watch him a couple of times and he’s come to training for the last three weeks. He’s very comfy on the ball, he’s got two decent feet and he’s something a little bit different out wide. We’ve got Matt Dodd with blistering pace and Louis is quick enough but he’ll make a yard to cross balls and we haven’t got that so he might be involved a bit more.”

Spaghetti Gazetti will follow Louis's progress at Worcester City and keep you updated on the career of this bright young star.
