Judd was a key part of Joe Antonelli's Under-15s side which won the U15 National Floodlit Cup in 2022/23 against Stoke City and the regional final against Arsenal. Playing as a right-back, he captained Palace in the 3-1 win over Stoke and the 5-0 win over Arsenal.
In July 2024, Judd signed a scholarship ahead of the 2024/25 season. He made his first appearance for Rob Quinn's Under-18s side in August 2024 against Birmingham City where he registered an assist and kept a clean sheet.
He scored his first goal for the U18s in September 2024 against Norwich City. Judd made 13 appearances in total during his first season as a scholar, and along with the goal against Norwich he also notched two assists.
Since the arrival of Javier Alonso at the start of the 2025/26 campaign, Judd has worn the captain’s armband for the Under-18s – a reflection of his leadership qualities and growing influence within a young side.
He started every U18s match he was available for under the Spaniard, earning praise for his intensity, consistency and high standards on and off the pitch.
A tenacious defender with a strong tackling ability and real drive up and down the right flank, Judd combines his defensive reliability with excellent technical quality in possession.
From deep areas, he dictates play with an assured passing range, while his inswinging corners have become a consistent attacking weapon, leading to several assists.
He has also contributed goals of his own, scoring three standout efforts against Aston Villa, Norwich and Fulham.
In total, he made 29 U18 appearances across the 25/26 season, registering three goals and seven assists – the second-highest assist tally in the squad behind Chuks Okoli – while anchoring a backline often featuring multiple Under-16 players.
His influence was particularly evident in key moments, including delivering the inswinging corner that led to David Angibeaud’s winner against Tottenham in the Premier League Cup semi-final.
Even when sidelined through injury for both the FA Youth Cup semi-final and Premier League Cup final, he remained an important leadership presence around the group during a landmark campaign.
He also stepped up to U21 level on four occasions in early 2026, further underlining his rapid progression through the Academy pathway.
