Young striker Dan Vanderpuye enters the second year of his scholarship with the Imps ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Vanderpuye led the line for Sam Tillen's young Imps throughout the 2024/25 campaign scoring nine times in 26 appearances, including a strike against Wrexham AFC in the FA Youth Cup third round at the LNER Stadium.

The centre-forward played a key role in City's top five finish in the Youth Alliance, with his strong physical presence bringing others into play alongside goals of his own.
