Doncaster Rovers' new cohort of under-18s have pencilled in four friendlies as they prepare for next season.

Frank Sinclair's charges finished last term strongly and are looking to build momentum ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

To that end, they've scheduled some enticing fixtures as they begin preparations. Pick of the bunch is a trip to Everton's Finch Farm training complex, when they'll face the Toffees youngsters on July 27.

Sinclair's new-look group, including a fresh batch of scholars, will also hit the road when they play Armthorpe Welfare on July 13. That is the opening game of their pre-season, with a visit to Leeds-based Ultimate Football Coaching Academy on July 20.

DRFC under-18s pre-season:

July 13, Armthorpe Welfare (A)

July 20, UFCA (A)

July 27, Everton (A)
