Congratulations to Jack Anthony who was named Taunton’s Man of the Match this afternoon 🍾

A real coming of age performance from Jack at the back today, who more than stood up to Yate’s attacks.

SIX-POINT BANK HOLIDAY 👊

Taunton Town swept aside Yate Town to pick up our first away win of the season and secure maximum points from both matches this weekend.

Thank you for your fantastic support across both games. We look forward to seeing you back at Wordsworth Drive next Saturday against Millbrook in the Emirates FA Cup.

EUROPA LEAGUE was never the dream.

Not because I didn’t want it.

Because if I’m being honest, I never thought it was possible.

What kid would?

Especially when 12 years ago I was playing non league football in the Ryman Premier and Conference South, just trying to stay alive in the game.

What kid dreams about Europe when, two weeks into the off season, his dad has to tell him he’s been released by Watford F.C. over the phone?

I was heartbroken.

My dad looked at me and said:

“What are we doing tomorrow?”

To which I replied with the words he’d drilled into me my whole life:

“We’re training, Dad.”

So we trained.

Every single day.

My dad emailed every EFL club asking for an opportunity.

One club replied.

One.

That was all I needed.

An opportunity.

@WealdstoneFC and @wwfcofficial , I’ll always be indebted to you.

Then came the move to @SunderlandAFC .

A massive club.

A massive opportunity.

And I couldn’t wait to prove myself.

But 45 minutes into my debut… hooked.

“Rabbit caught in headlights. Waste of money. Get rid.”

Then came the Championship.

“He’s not good enough for this level.”

Then the Premier League.

“Let’s give him a debut and then get rid of him.”

I understood the doubt.

I’ve faced it my whole career.

And truthfully, you doubt yourself too at times.

But I’ve always tried to live by one mindset:

Outwork your doubt.

You don’t always need to see the full journey.

You just need to take the next step.

Then the next one.

And then another.

Even when social media tells you you’re not good enough.

Even when the voice inside your own head whispers the same thing.

Keep working.

Keep learning.

Keep showing up.

Because sometimes the places you end up are bigger than anything your younger self could’ve ever imagined.

To any young player reading this, don’t put a ceiling on yourself too early.

You genuinely have no idea where this game and life can take you.

And to the boys… thank you.

You removed the glass ceiling I’d placed on myself.

What a team.

What a club.

What a fanbase.

Sunderland… rocking all over Europe ❤️🤍

And in the words of Granit Xhaka:

“This is just the beginning.”

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗢𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 ✍️🦚

We are pleased to announce the arrival of three new players to Gary Johnson's side ahead of the new league season, which begins away at Hanworth Villa this Saturday, 8 August.

Joining the Peacocks are Harry Watts, Sam Lord and Jack Anthony.

Watts, an exciting central midfielder, arrives in TA1 after graduating from the Cardiff City Academy. The highly regarded midfielder was part of the Bluebirds side that progressed in the EFL Trophy after beating Arsenal Under-21s 3-1. This move is subject to international clearance.

Lord featured towards the end of our pre-season campaign following his departure from Plymouth Argyle. A highly versatile player, he can be deployed in both midfield and defence, having gained experience in the Youth Alliance and Merit Leagues with Argyle's Under-18s, as well as Southern League experience with Tiverton Town.

Anthony, a local lad from Taunton who has been part of Johnson's side throughout pre-season, joins on a work experience loan from Exeter City. Standing at 6'2", the physical centre-back is capable of playing anywhere across the back four and is comfortable in possession. Anthony was first called up to Exeter City's Under-18s squad at just 16 years of age.
