Matteo Dashi is a midfielder by trade, a self-described number 8, though he is capable of playing further forward on the left or right.
He featured in Dave Cooper's Under-15s side which narrowly lost out to Sunderland in the U15 National Floodlit Cup final in 2021/22.
Dashi earned a scholarship ahead of the 2023/24 season. The youngster has also played for Albania Under-17s.
He scored his first goal for the Under-18s in September 2023, in a 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
His performances for the U18s saw him make his first appearance at Under-21s level in January 2024, coming on as a late substitute against Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League 2.
That proved to be his only appearance for the U21s in 23/24 as he racked up a further 30 for the U18s across all competitions, with four goals and three assists to his name.
Dashi signed his first professional contract in July 2024, ahead of the 2024/25 season.
