Signed from Plymouth on a Youth Contract He will be part of the new scholarship for the next season and is a 16 year old striker http://www.pafc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10364~2707452,00.html Edit: It would appear he made his U18s debut yesterday as a HT sub
Perhaps this will stop people moaning about Arsenal et al taking our players. Been at Argyle since the age of 10 but turns down apprenticeship to sign for us...not that I can blame the lad.
I agree with you Fran, but I think its slightly different in the fact he's not a proven pro player, whereas Walcott, Bale and AOC all broke into the first team and at the first time of asking off they went. We still have to develop this youngster to make sure he fulfills his potential. Here's hoping he's another gem.
Circle of life and all that. Stephens had broken into the Plymouth first team when we signed him. Good luck to the lad.
