Following the progress of Farnham Town players continuing their development out on loan to start the 2026/27 season…
Kai Tanner
Left-back, 22
Loan Club: Bracknell Town
Having starred in a winning-debut on Tuesday night against Gloucester City, Kai was forced to watch from the sidelines as Bracknell Town welcomed newly promoted side Malvern Town to the SB Stadium.
Despite playing the full 90 on debut, it was noted after the game that Kai felt some discomfort in his left-foot in the latter stages of the game but was able to continue. As a precaution, he was left out of the Bracknell side on the weekend.
Kai could make his return to the field this coming weekend as the Robins travel West to take on Yate Town who remain unbeaten through three games.
Harley Platel
Winger, 18
Loan Club: Ascot United
With the Emirates FA Cup taking precedence on the opening weekend of the season, Ascot United played their first league game of the season on the weekend as they travelled to Bedfont Sports.
Harley was named in the starting line-up again after an impressive debut the previous week where his goal helped the Yellas to a 3-2 victory in the Extra Preliminary Round.
It didn’t take long for Ascot to break the deadlock as Isaac Brown put them in front inside the first 10 minutes, but they were almost immediately pegged back when Jamie Fuller netted for the Sports three minutes later.
Ascot struggled get a foothold in the game as the half progressed, with Harley largely on the periphery, but he did have an effort on the half-hour mark which flashed wide before being replaced at half-time in a tactical switch.
Bedfont Sports would complete the comeback in the second half when David Kitoko netted with seven minutes to play.
Last night, Harley would again be in from the start as Ascot welcomed Kingstonian in the league in what would be a six-goal thriller.
Harley would impress as an attacking outlet for much of the game but unfortunately saw himself sacrificed in the second half when the Ascot goalkeeper Sam Swyer was shown a red card at 2-1 down. The Yellas did mount an impressive comeback to earn a point.
Ascot return to Emirates FA Cup action this weekend as they take on Penn & Tylers Green in the Preliminary Round.
Quinn Schutter
Left-back, 18
Loan Club: Ascot United
Eager to get him some first-team action, the Town sent Quinn out on a 28-day loan to Ascot United last Friday, joining up with Harley Platel who he came through the ranks with in the Fulham academy before their release this summer and joining Farnham Town together.
Quinn was thrown in from the start on Saturday, forming a Farnham Town tandem down the left with Platel, and made an immediate impact for the Yellas, setting up the opening goal of the game for Isaac Brown.
His aggressive defensive approach and quality on the ball once pushed forward was on show all afternoon, and Quinn was unlucky not to record a second assist of the game in the second half when his ball forward into the goalscorer Brown presented him with an opportunity to retake the lead, but he blasted over.
Another delivery from the left-hand side from Quinn would gift Ascot with another chance to put themselves back in front as he picked out striker Quaye Vine at the back post, but the chance would be spurned again.
Having not worked with Ascot yet prior to the game, Quinn was brought off on 64 minutes as Ascot went on to lose the game late on, but it was a very promising debut for the teenager in what was his first career senior appearance.
Quinn made a second consecutive start on Tuesday night against Kingstonian and played the full 90 minutes in a ding-dong affair that ended 3-3. He projects to make his Emirates FA Cup debut this Saturday against Penn & Tylers Green in the Preliminary Round.
Miles Obodo
Striker, 19
Loan Club: Basingstoke Town
Making his second consecutive start for Basingstoke following his loan move, Miles led the line as the ‘Stoke travelled south to take on Poole Town which was one of the toughest trips in the Southern League Premier South last season.
Basingstoke rode their luck in the first half, with Poole hitting the post and going close on several other occasions, but it was after the break where the game sparked into life.
Shortly after the hour mark, a ball was clipped forward into the Poole box, collected by Christos Papkonstantinou, he turned back inside to tee up Miles who opened up his right-boot to fire a first-time finish into the far left corner handing Basingstoke the lead.
A match-winning brace from @MilesOb for loan club Basingstoke Town on the weekend helping them secure their first points of the season! 👊

A resolute defensive display followed for much of the remainder of the game until four minutes from time, Miles led a breakaway into the Poole half. Without any better option, he lined up a strike from over 30 yards which rifled into the net to secure all three points for Basingstoke – their first of the season.
Miles will be looking to build on that impressive performance this weekend when Bath City, one of three sides tied on seven points at the top of the table, visit the Winklebury Football Complex.
