MEET THE PHOENIX UNITED SECOND TEAM SQUAD!!
Manager Matt Davey and Assistant Manager Rhys Kealey have now finalised their squad, and have plenty of the same and new faces to choose from.
New faces include Trevor Davis and Sam Gurney at the back, to add to what is now an even stronger back line. With Oliver now in the first team, the gloves are worn by James Elliott who impressed on his first outing with a clean sheet against Newton St Cyres. He also has Carwyn Williams for competition between the sticks. Full Backs Isaac Criddle and Kurtis Dodge will hope to continue their fantastic performances from last season, as does Eddie Budd, who was a prominent figure at Centre Back since joining in October last year. Jack Wright also returns from the big injury he suffered in August 2025.
The midfield sees many of the same names with prolific goalscorer Zac O'Loughlin now taking on the burden of captaincy. Kane and George join the club and provide competition for the likes of last season's Manger's Player of the Year Joe Lane and Most Improved Liam Rose, as well as midfield workhorse Will Hayes.
The attack is fronted by Cameron Turle and Hagan Saunders who compete for the centre forward role, while Hagan can also play on the wings.
Speaking of the wings, Danny Wright and Harvey Eastley will also look to better their goal tally from last season, scoring a combined 16 goals. Both have already got on the scoresheet this season.
Justin Lord, Tim Hartnett and Jordan Maidment also provide healthy competition as goals doesn't look to be an issue for the second team.
Many faces remain the same with Matt not needing to change too much thanks to the remarkable performance last season. A 4th place finish and a 10 game unbeaten run from April 2026 through to September 2026 sees the second team hope to push for another incredible finish.
Can the boys in blue dance with the best in the league? They certainly don't back down, that we can tell you for free.
Let's see what unfolds in this very unpredictable season ahead of us.
