Ronnie Blake is a second-year central midfielder. He made his first-team debut in October 2023 in an Emirates FA Cup tie against Yeovil Town.

Danny Heath: “Ronnie has been at the club since under-10s. He is predominately left-footed and he shows a positive, forward thinking mentality to play forwards and to get the team to attack. Ronnie has very good technical ability to attack with dribbling skills, combination play and also the ability to show good quality to produce an end product when in the final attacking third of the pitch to either score goals or to assist for others.”

Ronnie Blake: “Throughout my journey in the academy I’ve found it very difficult but enjoyable at the same time progressing through the ages becoming a better player and scoring goals. I found my first year in the youth team difficult due to injury but I was able to come back within the last few months of the season. I’ve gained a lot of confidence through scoring goals and improving my defending as-well. Therefore I’m looking forward to taking my passion and dedication into this new season to play for the badge and the club.”
