EFL League One club Oldham Athletic have officially announced their new Academy scholars ahead of the start of the 2018-2019 campaign.

The Latics have confirmed that promising midfielder Kyle Wych is among the nine scholars, having recently joined the club from Manchester United.

Wych last represented Manchester United's U16 team prior to his transfer to Oldham Athletic.

Ryan Pickford, Reece Gaskell, Jack Grundy, Ellis Allen, Taylor, Lewis McKinney, Charley Leech and Andy Hackett are the other players who will be first-year scholars as from July 1.

Manchester-born Kyle Wych was offered a contract after impressing the youth-team coaches during his trial period.

He will play for Oldham Athletic in the Youth Alliance League next season.
