69. Rhema Obed

Rampaging right-back Rhema established himself as a regular for Steve Bould’s under-18s, making 18 starts last campaign.
After impressing during his final season as a schoolboy, Rhema, who has been capped by England at u-16 level, signed scholarship terms at the start of the 2008/09 season.
He made his debut as a substitute against Bristol City at London Colney and soon became a regular in the side, clocking up a run of seven consecutive starts between February and April.
His forward runs won many admirers with the highlight of his season coming in the victory over Chelsea at London Colney, where he constantly shackled his opponents whilst also motoring forward at ease.
There were occasional blips-as there are with any young player- with some defensive mistakes leading to a half-time rollicking from Bould during the match against Crystal Palace.
But Rhema bounced back and put in a much improved second period performance and will now be focusing his efforts towards earning himself a professional contract.
He has already experienced a taster of life in the Reserves after he was called up by Neil Banfield late last season- although he did not play.
