Pro contracts for Chairboys trio

Wycombe have handed professional contracts to second-year scholars Matt Ingram, Max Kretzschmar and Olly Taylor.

Goalkeeper Ingram is currently on work experience at Lewes, while midfielder Kretzschmar and striker Taylor have impressed for the Chairboys' Under-18 and reserve sides this season. The trio will sign initial one-year deals in the coming weeks before linking up with the first-team squad for the start of the 2012/13 season. Manager Gary Waddock told the club's official website: "They all deserve their chance after making great strides during their scholarships. It's a great opportunity and I'm looking forward to working with them next season. The hard work starts now." Under-18's coach Andy Ritchie added: "I'm delighted for them because they've all had to overcome different adversities this season. "Matt (broken hand) and Max (fractured leg) have come back from long-term injuries, while Olly has had to deal with being the only fit second-year scholar for the majority of the season, so it's testament to their character. I wish them all the best."
