Freddie Anderson’s Statistics at 17 Years Old

This player has been crucial during Stoke City's development over the past two years. His outstanding performance last season in the Premier League U18 was incredibly positive, where he played 17 matches, scored one goal, and provided three assists, accumulating over 1,400 minutes on the pitch. This demonstrates his immense ambition with Stoke City.

The much-anticipated moment arrived for him to debut with the first team. In the 2024-2025 season, he started for the Stoke City first team in the Carabao Cup against Carlisle United, where he played the full 90 minutes and scored a goal, leading Stoke City to a 2-0 victory and advancing in the Carabao Cup, a competition that is looking promising for them against strong teams from the Premier League.

In the Premier League 2, this season, he has played just two matches, starting both and completing the full game, leaving a positive impression despite the adverse results faced by the Stoke City U21 team.

Nevertheless, he continues to be a significant sensation and revelation for the club, with expectations that he will remain focused and gradually adapt to becoming a professional footballer. His future with the club appears to be secured, and Stoke City is committed to helping him become a star for The Potters in the years to come.
