Our Under-21s side will compete in the EFL Trophy during the 2024/25 season.
Last season, our Under-21s reached the knockout stages of the competition for the first time, before being narrowly defeated by eventual finalists Wycombe Wanderers.
The Group Stage draw for the competition will take place on Thursday 27th June at 2.30pm, live on Sky Sports News.
All 64 teams will enter from Round One and will be split into 16 regional Groups of four teams, eight in the Northern region and eight in the Southern region. The 16 invited Under-21 teams will be placed into their respective Northern and Southern regional Groups, with the 48 EFL Clubs placed into pre-determined Groups prior to the draw.
We will play all three of our group games away from home.
We have been assigned ball number five in the Southern section of the draw and will compete in one of the following groups:
|
GROUP A Birmingham City Shrewsbury Town Walsall |
GROUP B AFC Wimbledon Crawley Town Wycombe Wanderers |
GROUP C Bromley Cambridge United Charlton Athletic |
GROUP D Gillingham Peterborough United Stevenage |

GROUP E Colchester United Leyton Orient Milton Keynes Dons |
