I think he's played for them a few times although I'm not really sure. I think he shoudln't be ruled out as one of our youth projects.

Cozmo, amidst the win yesterday, can you please try and stop picking faults and be positive?

Played for the Academy side, so would count as an Academy product. Same as Billy Knott and Lewis King do even though we got them from Chelsea and Derby.

He was 17 when the AoL was built so while he will have trained there a little bit he's more a product of our old system and training facilities than the Academy of Light

Looks like it. Its been a long wait but if they arent making it in the top flight we're starting to get some decent money back from the FL clubs.

Good too see.

Just seen on SAFC.com that Jordan Pickford has been called up to the England U-18 squad. Hadn't heard of him, but checked the site and he's a first year apprentice keeper signed in the summer
