[edit] Reserves

Middlesbrough Reserves play in the Premier Reserve League North, of which they finished seventh in 2007–08, after heading the table for a good part of the season.

The reserve team is currently managed by Martin Scott, who joined the club in July 2007 as an Academy coach, before replacing Steve Agnew who moved up to first-team coach in July 2008.

[edit] Academy

The Middlesbrough Academy is the name for Middlesbrough's youth system. In recent years it has been noted as one of the most productive in the country,^[1] producing among others, England international Stewart Downing, and Under-21 internationals Andrew Taylor, Lee Cattermole, Chris Brunt, James Morrison and David Wheater. The BBC noted that since the 2002–03 season, Middlesbrough had produced the most graduates from their academy to play in at least five first team games.^[2]

The head of the Academy is Dave Parnaby. He led the Academy side to the 2003 FA Youth Cup final against Manchester United where they finished runners up, before getting to the final again the next season and emerging victorious over Aston Villa.
