Free-scoring striker Jordy Hiwula has been a regular name on the teamsheet for the under-18s over the past season and has cemented his reputation as a bankable match winner for England at youth level too.

Hiwula was an inspirational figure for City in last year’s Al Ain International Juniors Championships winning side, scoring in three matches against Valencia, Al Ain and the UAE national team. Capable of scoring all types of goals, Hiwula has struck up a prolific partnership with Devante Cole.

The Stretford-Schooled striker scored five goals in three FA Youth Cup matches last season and also netted 17 times in 20 FA Academy Premier League matches.
