City's U23 side open their pre-season campaign at Weston-super-Mare AFC on Tuesday, July 13th, 2021.

Steve Morison's side were originally scheduled to face Bristol Rovers U23 last week, but this game was cancelled due to injuries within the opposition squad.

For 2021/22 - City have a number of new faces joining the U23 setup. Three new signings have been made from outside the Club. Central defender James Connolly, who featured for City's first team squad at Bath City on Saturday, joined from Blackburn Rovers. Right-back Jai Semenyo arrived from Mangotsfield United and goalkeeper Rohan Luthra agreed a move from Crystal Palace.

Promoted from our Academy setup - graduates Owen Pritchard, Ryan Kavanagh, Eli King, Taylor Jones, Siyabonga Ligendza & Nativ Yanko have also been added to the U23 squad.
