Solihull Moors has announced that academy graduates Charlie Watts (pictured) and Kyle Moseley have been awarded first team squad numbers for the 2025/26 season.

Charlie will wear the number 30 shirt and marked the occasion by making his full first-team debut last night in the pre-season fixture against Everton U21s.

The young midfielder delivered an assured, composed performance, showing maturity in possession and a tireless work rate off the ball.

His display caught the eye of the manager, who praised Charlie’s attitude, decision-making, and commitment throughout the game.

Kyle, meanwhile, has been handed the number 31 shirt and is working hard in training to earn his own first-team minutes.

Speaking about the new graduates, head of the academy Myles Cooper said: “Seeing the boys progress into the first team is something I'm really proud of.

“I think their progression into this environment shows the pathway is working effectively and we’re giving opportunities to young players.

“It's satisfying from my point of view to know that we’re not only developing footballers but also better people.

“I am confident (because the pathway works) that there will be more coming through the system. I can't wait for the season to get started!”
