Dons teen Hope makes LFE's 'The 11' list

Hope, who scored the decisive goal in the 1-0 win over Cardiff City in the FA Youth Cup third round, has been named on the list which acknowledges the football and academic progress of Under-18 players on apprenticeships at current or former English Football League (EFL) clubs - and is also designed to assess other factors including involvement in community or charity based initiatives.

This accolade celebrates the holistic development of young players, a barometer which is also applied to the LFE Apprentice of the Year Awards presented at The EFL Awards dinner in April.

LFE chief executive Alan Sykes added: “The 11 is directly associated with apprentice reviews that are conducted by our regional officer’s throughout the season. It is a great way to highlight the achievements and progression of talented young footballers who apply themselves to all aspects of their apprenticeship.”

The full list:

Finlay Sinclair-Smith (Blackpool)

Callum Styles (Bury)

George Lloyd (Cheltenham Town)

Joe Lynch (Crewe Alexandra)

Danny Amos (Doncaster Rovers)

Jack Tucker (Gillingham)

Jesse Debrah (Millwall)

Tommy Hope (Milton Keynes Dons)
