I've not heard of this before, but I've been told that he needs to be at the parent clube for 2 yrs continuously to qualify as HG. His birthday is next week? So if he had turned 18 (2yr anniversary w the club) prior to the close of the window, he would've qualified as HG and sent on loan. But because he was a few days shy, they're keeping him for the HG qualification purposes.
This may all be completely made up, Ive no idea what this rule requires.
But it may work out for us in getting to see what the kid is made of this season.
