Overview[]

The U18 2012-13 season was the U18 squad's first under new FA regulations. Having previously played in the Premier Academy League, they were now to compete in a new format whereby they would start in the U18 Premier League Group 3. The leagues would then be split again at the turn of the new year dependant on clubs' positions.

Steve Wigley took over as head coach after Kit Symons had moved up to take charge of the U21 squad. The season started as they meant to go on, kicking off the League campaign with a 7-1 thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers U18. Finishing 2nd in Group 3, they qualified for the 'Elite Group' at the midway point in the season. They went on to finish 1st in the table and won the resulting play-offs which saw them crowned national champions for the first time in the academy's history.

Success also came in March 2013 as Steve Wigley took an U19 squad out to the United States to compete in the Dallas Cup, where they returned with the trophy following a 5-1 win over Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol U19.
