Following on from the success of last season, which saw 9 Rothwell players sign professional contracts with Peterborough United, MK Dons, Northampton Town and Luton Town, this season is starting to look even more promising for Rothwell players.

Although the current season is still in its early days Rothwell has been swamped with interest from professional clubs. With 13 players currently creating approaches from and gaining trials and/or contracts with Derby County, Aston Villa, Ipswich Town, Peterborough United and Northampton Town.

Rather than just results, Rothwell Town FC Youth Development Centre is fully focussed on player development. RTYDC currently has teams ranging from U9 to U18s.

The Match Report now includes available match photos which have been provided by either team. We only have a few matches covered by photos at the moment but we would like more sent to us as its fantastic to see the players in action.
