    Chester FC are pleased to announce that three promising goalkeepers have all agreed terms ahead of the 2024/25 season!

    18-year-old Alex Brown is a new arrival – joining from Tranmere Rovers.

    The teenager has been training with the Blues since the beginning of pre-season and featured on the bench against Stockport County and Stoke City as a Trialist.

    Billy has completed his scholarship with the Blues and was named Academy Player of the Season for 2023/24.

    All three young ‘keepers will work closely alongside our number one Cameron Mason and Goalkeeper Coach Neil Ebbrell as they continue their development.

    Speaking on today’s news, Neil said: “In Billy, Joe and now Alex we have three good, young talented goalkeepers.

    “However, in the nitty gritty real world of non-league football managers, they need to know they can ‘trust’ their keepers.

    “That only comes from playing regular, consistent senior football within the right environment, where they can play and learn. To achieve this, keepers need to find their level and eventually the cream rises to the top.

    “It is hugely important our young keepers eventually receive that game time, which we monitor closely whilst they continue training within the Chester FC Goalkeeping Department.”

    Congratulations, Billy, Joe and Alex!
