North Yorkshire.
Not sure if many will find this interesting but here goes:

Jack Diamond, Stockport, League One.
Started and played 73 minutes in a 2-0 win.

Henry Fieldson, Queens Park, Scottish Championship.
Named on the bench in a 1-1 draw with Livingston, didn't get on the pitch.

Michael Spellman, Newport, League Two.
Didn't make the bench in a 3-2 defeat.

Ellis Taylor, Harrogate, League Two.
Got the last 9 minutes for Harrogate in a 2-0 defeat.

Not a bad idea for a thread and it made me wonder if Embleton got a game for Blackpool. According to the BBC website, he came on as a sub after 60 mins

I think Diamond will do well at Stockport and forge a decent career for himself

I watched the highlights and he looked rapid. Broke through on the right but skied his effort in comical fashion, summed him up for me, I don't think he makes it out of League One but I reckon he shines there. Looks a very decent athlete, not sure he is a good enough footballer though.

Is this thread just trying to find another way to moan about the club, if a youngster does well after being released.

I think that it might well be the exact opposite - we frequently hear about youngsters being released and people querying why they weren't offered a contract - Ellis Taylor being a case in point - this might actually show that our people really do know what they are doing!!

If you don't hear again about a player released by the club shows that the club was right.
 
Personally I’m hoping to see these young lads do well for themselves. We’ve seen likes of Ellis Taylor in U23s and it’s good to know they can go on and establish a career.

He'll carve out a decent League Two career for himself in my opinion.
I think he’ll prove better than that, wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually made it to championship. He has goals in his left foot- only needs to be okay at everything else to be very useful and with experience I think he could move up the leagues.

Hope you are right, i think he will play L1 at best - doesnt have the physicality for the championship but he has the technical ability to play at L1 level

Not that young these days but still playing
Jordan Cook has now signed a one-year deal with Shildon in non-league ahead of the 2024-25 season having played with Blyth Spartans last campaign. Cook has also enjoyed stints with Hartlepool United and Gateshead in recent years.

I went to school with his mam <laugh>

I’d be very surprised personally, but I hope you’re right!
