Wiki says he was at West Brom's academy, but was released from Leicester City's academy without being offered a pro contract, obviously one of them's wrong(I think he was at Leicester).
It'd be weird if he wasn't at West Brom since one of their fansites in preview of one of our games against them listed him as a player to have played for both clubs at some level. http://www.albiontillwedie.co.uk/200809/previews/away/hullcity.html
That would suggest that he was at the Baggies, I wonder if wiki's not wrong and he was at both clubs, I'll check with the Leicester lads.
The Leicester lads don't remember him ever being there, so wiki is probably wrong and he was probably just at the Baggies as you said.
We should be getting the kids from Malet Lambert (can't remember the age group) that got the national final to join the youth team.
