Quoted from Les Brechin


It's John Rooney, currently at Guiseley who's Wayne's brother. AFAIK Adam is no relation to Wayne.


Cheers Les, I'm clearly no good at my own game!

A few international graduates. Also notice Jordan Tilson of Exeter is a graduate.

Russ wouldn't have signed him if he thought he was shite would he? Let's hope the lad flourishes.

I'm sure the success rate for a lot of clubs academies isn't any better.

Oldun just because the success rate of this Nike Academy doesn't mean Dembele won't be good enough for us... we will have to wait and see

Agree it isn't great but at least it hasn't been a failure. What that doesn't tell you is how many people go on to forge a career in the game in other capacities such as sports science or coaching.

Some players reach the professional game by all sorts of strange routes. He is a young and untried prospect and we won't know how he will fare until he's being kicked by no nonsense league 2 fullbacks. If he prospers, we maybe have a gem on our hands, if he doesn't, then it's a 1 year gamble worth taking.
