Striker Harry Gardiner has joined South Shields on loan from Sunderland until the end of the season, subject to league and FA clearance.
The 19-year-old is a former SSFC Academy player, having been part of the young Mariners’ squad between the summer of 2020 and February 2021.
When training with South Shields FC, you’ll be instructed by an experienced team of staff who have played for and coached at a variety of English Premier League clubs. Their knowledge and experience will be vital in each participant’s overall development both as a soccer player and on a personal level.
Training will largely consist of on-pitch sessions with a focus on decision-making skills and tactical understanding alongside individual, position-specific skills. As well as a thorough on-field coaching programme, you’ll also have access to professionally-led strength and conditioning sessions to supplement your training.
SSFC Academy youngster Harvey Smith has been called up to the England Under-18 Schoolboys side for the upcoming Centenary Shield.
The son of Shields legend Barrie Smith, Harvey was part of the squad which reached the first round of the FA Youth Cup this season before bowing out to Chester.
Congratulations to college and @SSFCacademy student-athlete Harvey Smith who has been selected for the @SchoolsFootball U18s squad! The 18-year-old from Durham will represent the Three Lions in the upcoming Centenary Shield tournament.
