^{2004-2005 was Julian Bennett's first season as a}^professional^{footballer. Bennett was one of the Youth Team's most}^consistent^figures.

^{His excellent Reserve Team performances got him a spot on the bench when we played Wigan Away during 2003-2004. He made his debut coming on to replace Matt Carbon.}

^{He started 04-05 at left back, but soon moved in to the center and kept his place there until the closing stages of the season when he picked up a bad injury and sat out the rest of the year.}

^{He ended up being a contender for the player of the season award and became one of the most successful youth team graduates we've had for some time.}

^{He is expected to be fit in time for 05-06.}
