Another One Comes Off The Boreham Wood Conveyor Belt

The young midfielder is the latest player of the PASE conveyor belt, joining the likes of Bradley Sach, Frank Keita, Sauba Thomas and Quba Gordon in the Wood first-team picture.

Born in Rouen, France, Ndiaye has recently returned from the first round of the England Colleges trials and is hopefully of progressing further.

A small and skilful central midfielder, Ndiaye was part of the Elite squad last year who reached two National League Cup finals and the second round of the FA Youth Cup.

The 18-year-old couldn’t keep the smile off his face, and explained to the club`s official website: “I am very happy, and it is a great beginning to get a contract with the club, I just want to keep on working hard and make sure that I go further.

“First-team manager Luke Garrard told me the news; I felt that I had done well, but that just gave me a huge boost. I have had to work really hard and train really hard every day.

“I have trained with the first-team before as well. I found that hard, it is a really fast tempo, but good fun. They are all so big and strong, I know that I have got to work hard to improve.

“I have been here two years now, I came in last year, two months after pre-season and worked my way into the elites, where we achieved great success.”

Short in stature, the 18-year-old spoke of how he can improve: “Firstly, I need to go to the gym. I will work hard every single day to keep improving in training.

“I will be training with the first-team full-time now and I will continue to eat right, sleep right and think right.

“My next aim is to make my Boreham Wood debut and then I will just see where it takes me”.
