Having watched Southport regularly for many seasons this one came as a big suprise. The lad isn't exactly setting the world alight at Haig Avenue, but has bags of pace and quite a good pedigree, but all seems a lot of untapped potential. He had a trial at the club before any enquiries where made, as he has made only a handful of first team appearances this season (and last).

Reading on the 'Port messageboard, it's a 10k fee upfront and the rest incentives...the main one being for his first Premier League appearance.

Just hope he's as good as their youth team manager seems to think he is. Haven't seen or heard anything of him but it's always good to see the club investing in the future. The fee sounds like a win win situation really as if he doesn't make it we'll barely have paid anything.

This seems to be the way ahead for Rovers. Keep a very watchful eye open in all the youth leagues and when a specially promising youngster comes to our notice, get him in for trials. Then if successful, agree a deal with his club along the lines we have done with Southport. It should certainly supplement the work of our academy and may even achieve better and more cost effective results.

There where some Southport regulars on the train last night who have said virtually the same who where very surprised to say the least.

Also mentioned something about the appearance not even being whether he plays - just a case of being on the bench??

To be honest if he gets to Premier league bench stage - then he will of been worth it anyway - a good reserve team player can fetch a decent sum from championship clubs.

"Zac has studied with us as a scholar for the last 18 months. He's achieved his BTec's and his NVQ's and he's a qualified referee now and he's on the ladder of FA coaching badges."

Sounds like he has a real passion for the game there, doing all that at a young age. Another youngster we can look forward to seeing.

Does this mean he's more qualified than our last manager?

I think youth players now have to undertake so many studies as well as just football incase they don't make it as professional players.

Good on the club for taking a punt on this young fella.

Sounds like a sensible character, as he has got those qualifications at a young age. Cue AESF story about him drink driving whilst roasting a girl.....................................

Yes he is :)

No he isn't. He can play Academy football, but not FA Youth Cup. He's two weeks too old for that.

:wacko: but the question was is he eligible for the youth team, never said anything about in what competitions

Lee, do you have any idea when the semi is? Even what week it is would be helpful so I can try and get the night off.

Cheers
