Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has hinted that some more players could join the club this summer for their development squad.

So far, the Chairboys have signed one player in Jasper Pattenden from Non League Worthing, with the centre midfielder being put into Sam Grace’s development team.

However, the boss revealed that signings are expected to come through before the season starts.

Speaking to Sky Sports News on June 30, he said: “I’m known to give youngsters and unknowns a chance but it’s up to them to keep their places.

“A few more will be added without a shadow of a doubt, hopefully from a big club which will be nice but at the moment I’m more or less business as usual with the squad that I had last season.

“Fans don’t panic, watch this space.”

On Pattenden, the manager added: “Jasper will be part of the development group which Anis Mehmeti and Chris Forino have progressed from, along with Tyla Dickinson the keeper.

“His work rate is phenomenal, he’s a real powerhouse, he’s stocky, he’s quick, he loves to carry the ball and he loves to make things happen.

The league season will begin on July 30, with Wanderers starting at home against Burton Albion.
