Freddie Davison and Marley Sablier make the step up to our 1st team.

Dulwich Hamlet Football Club are delighted to announce that Freddie Davison and Marley Sablier have made the step up from our under 18s side to our 1st team.

Marley featured on the bench in our 1-1 draw with Burgess Hill Town on Saturday.

Freddie captains our U18s side and featured in our three FA Youth Cup fixtures including the memorable victory over Rusthall here at Champion Hill.

In the league our U18s have won 5 of their 6 games with their only defeat in the league coming against Cray Wanderers.

The duo become the first players from our newly formed U18s side to make the step up to our 1st team having impressed Mark Dacey and his management team in training.

Mark Dacey had this to say as Freddie and Marley completed forms to sign for the 1st team: "It’s been a number of years since a youth team player has been in a 1st team match day squad. This is part of the culture we are building here at Dulwich Hamlet we want to make sure we bring back is home grown talent to our club.

Marley and Freddie have looked very comfortable in training with us. Justin and his management team have done a great job in producing the next generation for this football club.

The relationship that Justin and myself have is one of the most important within the club to make sure that together we can help produce and develop more players to step up from our 18s and into our 1st team."
