Congratulations go to Charlie Mann of Crystal Palace as February 2010 Apprentice of the Month.
As a first year Apprentice, goalkeeper Charlie has been an instrumental part of the Youth team in between the sticks, featuring in all Academy matches as well as Reserves games.
The young keeper has also made appearances for the first team, more recently against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup 4th round replay live on national television.
Charlie has maintained progress with the educational elements of the Apprenticeship, undertaking additional units to complete the National Diploma and working ahead of schedule on the NVQ log book.
He has been an excellent Apprentice in all areas while operating in such a high pressure position as a young goalkeeper.
