He looks so young!
Wonder if other clubs have been sniffing around so we’ve got him signed up to protect ourselves

That we are giving professional contracts to young players as a L1 level club speaks volumes about the potential of the youngsters concerned.

Great news. Real prospect who was probably being checked out by other clubs

In the one match I have seen this lad play he certainly has got potential. Good luck to him.

Interesting to read that for both Roughan and Long a key factor to them initially signing in the academy was the educational support. Kudos to Jez George.

Shows the club are in good hands behind the scenes

Think that the club has put a lot of time and effort into the academy especially since we returned to the league and it looks like it's finally bearing some fruit.
Could be like the 90s again when Carbon, Huckerby and co came through.

Good luck to him. It's probably rhe hardest position to get any kind of gamerime from so i'm presuming a loan out soon?
