The pathway from Heaton Stan Juniors to the first team

Later in the video, first team assistant manager Andy McBride stops by to talk about the exciting prospect of seeing more involvement from academy graduates in his squad.

Heaton Stan U18s Recruitment

Heaton Stan u18’s are looking to add to their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Like last season, we will again play in the competitive Durham FA Youth League, against top level clubs throughout the North East. We will also compete in the FA Youth Cup, which is a brilliant experience for all players.

A major focus of ours is centred around player development and as a result we have seen players promoted from this squad into our senior teams.

This means we now have opportunities to strengthen our Under 18s squad for the new season (date of birth between 1/9/07 to 31/8/09). So if you want to be part of a great club and join a fantastic squad playing at the highest level this is your chance.

Please direct all queries to Simon by email simoncoulson157@hotmail.co.uk with the players name, age on 1st September, current club(s) and position. Or feel free to contact Simon on 07599014720 to discuss further.

Announcement: The Home of Heaton Stan Juniors

We announced last season our plans to implement a Junior division at Heaton Stannington FC in the 2023/24 season. Since then, a lot of hard work has been going on behind the scenes to build solid foundations for this part of the Club.

We are now delighted to be able to announce that we have entered a partnership with charity Urban Green Newcastle which will see Heaton Stan Juniors based at the nearby Paddy Freeman’s Park facility!

Paddy Freeman’s Park is central to the High Heaton community and in very close proximity to Grounsell Park. It provides us with an amazing opportunity to bring Junior football to the area and the partnership with Urban Green will see investment in the facility as a Junior football hub for years to come. We are excited to have a shared vision with Urban Green to develop Paddy Freeman’s Park further including pitch improvements, facilities improvements and with community integration at the heart of all we do.

We are now working with Urban Green and various community groups to bring this vision to fruition and ensure we are ready to go for the coming season.

Please keep a look out for further Juniors updates via our website and social media channels, especially plans for Open Sessions in June.
