Yeovil Town manager Darren Sarll is back in the dugout this Wednesday (2nd June) as he takes part in an academy trial day for Stratford Town.
Advertising on their social media channels, Stratford Town are offering a trial day for players aged 16-19.
This is their third trial day and the second with a guest host, the other being former Bolton striker Dean Holdsworth.
Sarll has been invited to host the event as the two clubs have had a strong link since 2019. Albi Skendi joined the Glovers from Stratford and the two have played pre-season friendlies in the last two years.
Speaking to the club’s official site, Sarll said; “I’m delighted to be invited to Stratford Town to host this next trial. Academy football is where you begin to see players maturing into the game.”
The current Academy manager for the Southern League club Ryan Simmonds said “Having Darren come in to host the trial is great for the Academy. His experience of working with players of this age group and passing on his knowledge of the game will be a real bonus for those who attend and our boys who are already here.”
All the best to the gaffer as his search for young talent continues – just… maybe bring a couple of the good ones back to Huish Park, instead, yeah?
