Academy trio make step up to First Team

Academy trio make step up to First Team

Club Media6 Feb - 19:00

Three academy players have been registered for the First Team!

We are delighted to announce that we have signed three players from our academy, Pro-Direct Academy Hertfordshire, for the First Team!

Having impressed in recent sessions with the First Team squad, Kyri Antoniou, Henry Zokay-West and Ruben Kibrom have all been registered at senior level, in a move which highlights the quality of the academy and the club's commitment to offering opportunities to young players in the academy.

Antoniou, a versatile wide player, will make his first steps in senior football at the Bar, and is an exciting prospect who we are pleased to be welcoming to the First Team.

Zokay-West brings versatility along the back line, comfortable playing in both central and wide areas, making him a useful addition to the team.

Kibrom is a more offensive player, mainly slotting into the attacking midfield area, and we look forward to welcoming him to the First Team.

Following the news of the three new signings from the academy, Jack Pridmore, First Team coach and youth pathway coordinator said: ‘Congratulations to Henry, Kyri and Ruben, who, following several weeks training with the first team, have become the very first Pro-Direct Hertfordshire/Potters Bar Town Academy players to sign first team forms!

'This is an important milestone for the academy, and goes to show the young players and scholars that the pathway into semi professional football at this club is attainable.

'A big well done to academy coach Ben, who has led the development of the lads day-to-day and can be rightly proud of this significant achievement.

'For any young players aged 16-19 looking to enhance their footballing and educational prospects by full time football and education, you can trial for our academy for the 2026/2027 season. Please send a DM on Instagram or click here to apply.

'Our next Talent ID day is on Wednesday 18th February, where we hope to find the next Henry, Kyri and Ruben.’

Welcome to the Bar, Henry, Kyri and Ruben!
