Purton FC's Development Team

Purton FC Development was formed in 2022, initially to offer Purton FC Youth players an introduction into men’s football.

 

After a very difficult first season with a very young and inexperienced squad, we made root-to-branch changes during the summer months of 2023, signing some exciting young players and adding a small number of more experienced, senior players to the Development squad.

We are currently a member of the Swindon and District Football League, Division One. We have had a very good season, and although we are still unsure where we will finish in the league we are hoping for a top four finish.

 

We also had a good cup run this season, reaching the semifinal of the Swindon and District Challenge Cup.

Our mission on the Development side is simply to leave it in a better and stronger position than where we found it. And we achieve this by having high standards, structure and respect in an enjoyable environment where commitment is rewarded.

Our winter training is from October until March. We use a local floodlit 3G facility once a week and train on non-match day Saturday’s at a local recreation ground. The rest of the year we use the same recreation ground either once or twice a week, depending on what our match schedule looks like. We don’t stop at the end of the league season. We continue to train, work on fitness, and play occasional friendlies against other local teams.

We are a close-knit squad that will always have each other's backs. A vast majority of our lads socialise with each other and get on well.As a team, we offer regular opportunities for people to become involved in FA regulated league football at very affordable costs, in a positive, friendly and energetic environment.
