"Being on the bench for the first team was a huge experience for me," Mayers said. "I want to replicate that again and get on the pitch next time. That's the goal for everyone here." He's eager to continue working hard and maintaining his consistency, which has been a hallmark of his performance over the past two years.

Brown expressed confidence in the club's ability to help players like Mayers reach the professional level, citing his own development as an example. Mayers' new contract is a testament to the club's commitment to nurturing young talent.
