Pure speculation but he's been taken out of the Kettering team whilst negotiations are ongoing with another club. Looks like it's a club from a higher level. I know we have loads of wingers but Grant and Scannell aren't likely to play much before their contracts end in the summer whilst Wright can't stay fit so that leaves us with the currently injured JMD and Sousa (who is also out of contract in the summer).

Hurst did say he wanted another wide player though no idea if it's this lad.

Callum Powell. 11 goals for Kettering this season, one less than Charman at Darlo who I’d have been very happy with.

Doesn’t look like your typical wide player though. Looks more of a Liam Hearn type who can pick the ball up anywhere in the opposition half and run at teams. Exciting looking player; certainly wouldn’t be disappointed if we were in for him.

He’d given me a rabona within a few seconds of that highlights reel.

Very, very good that. Give yourself a pat on the back when you’ve calmed down.

I'll say it before anyone else does - highlights reels are obviously just that, so no idea on whether he drifts in and out of games, or whether he's had fitness issues or injury troubles before this season.

I want to get excited by a player like that joining us. I'm in no way being negative when I say this (because he's clearly got talent) but I'd argue we've yet to see the Sousa we all saw from the Darlo highlights reel.

He's shown glimpses though. Much rather we look for talent coming up and with something to prove. This lad fits the bill but it's all speculation at the minute.

I think strikers are a little bit easier to gauge though than other players, because they can be measured by the all important metric of goals scored. He’s the joint 7th top scorer in the Conference North, with 11 in 19 or based on minutes played a goal approximately 1.5 games. That, in a bang-average Kettering team.

Those stats, coupled with the highlights reel and the local journo describing him as ‘outstanding’ gives me a degree of confidence that he’s a half-decent player.

A gold star from me, whoever red crosses that one needs help. You don’t get many laughs on the fishy but that was one

Struggling to find anything linking him to anybody at the moment. He shares an agency with Effiong at Woking  but at 5' 6" he's about a foot too short for them.
