Forum Sports client Charlie Dinsdale picked up valuable minutes for Sunderland U21s in their 4-0 Premier League Cup win over Bromley on Monday night, helping the club secure top spot in the opening group stage of the competition.
It was a deserved inclusion in the U21 squad following a strong season so far for Sunderland’s U18 group, where the young midfielder has been a consistent contributor in the U18 Premier League.
Charlie joined the Sunderland academy as an 11-year-old and signed a scholarship with the club last summer. With first-team minutes at U21 level now under his belt, the rest of the campaign offers an exciting platform for him to push on.
