Oliver Younger

With all this talk about former players, one name that popped in my head was Oliver Younger.

Upon having a look seems since leaving us he has just done 7 months coaching in Fleetwood academy but has not retired and is looking at getting back playing for a club.

I know he had a bad injury but seems crazy he never found another club and he is only 25 years old.

Really hope he can find his way back into professional football such a shame he had that freak injury

Here's a copy of a post I put on here a couple of months ago regarding Ollie Younger:


I don't know him, but Ollie Younger lives near me in Skipton. He is a 'friend of a friend' of my daughter.

Ollie posted this on his Linkedin account last October:

"Hello everyone,

It has been a tough road to recovery in many ways, however I’m pleased to announce that I will be making a return to football in 8 weeks time.

I’ve worked tirelessly to get myself back to this point and always had the belief and desire that I’ll get myself back to doing what I love again.

It would be greatly appreciated if I can get any help or opportunities that would get me back involved at a club, whether it be training or contractual.

Just reaching out to everyone who can maybe help or pass on my details.

Thanks

Ollie"
