Young defender Lewy Oliver broke through into the U18 setup in the first half of the 2024/25 season.

Oliver is comfortable with the ball at his feet while being dominant and strong at the back. He scored his first goal for the U18s against Rochdale in the Youth Alliance.

The central defender contributed to City’s record-equalling FA Youth Cup success, playing three times in the competition. He made 24 appearances in all competitions as he became a key part of Sam Tillen's side.
