This is all I got in attempt to dig up some info on our new signing..... :o
"I doubt you'll get much info mate, he must only be about 17 or 18 and I don't think he played for the reserves that much - certainly never got near the first team. I seem to remember seeing something about him scoring a few goals for the youth team. Where has he gone by the way? I will say, one thing we never do is release players that come back to haunt us. We had one highly rated youth player a few years ago who left age 18 for Gillingham for first team football (Lennie Piper) - he now plays for Farnborough Town I think, while last year's star in the making who got away was Russ Williamson, and he's just been released by Southend. If we let them go for nothing, the chances are they're bobbins. So I wouldn't hold your breath!"
