Harrison Jones To Leave Club


The curse of tippy tappy u21 / u18 football.

The lad should have been out playing mens football 18 months ago.

Who's going to take a chance on him with barely any senior football to his name apart from some glorified friendlies at the end of last season.

I've been saying for a while now the lack of accountability our u18 / u21s doesn't help produce senior footballers. There really needs to be a larger emphasis on winning at that level.
 
One of those players who seems to become very comfortable at u21 level and never really pushed for a chance in senior football. Don't know if he had many loan opportunities, but his path reminded me a lot of Ethan Robson / George Honeyman who probably spent a little too long in the u21s and should have tried their luck with a loan to play proper mens football sooner.

He's 21 now and has made 7 senior appearances. Like others have said, i hope he values game time over the level of side he signs for as a full season playing league 2 would be far more beneficial than signing for a l1/championship side as a prospect who doesn't get on the pitch. His next move will determine if he manages a decent career or not. Another few years of no football and he could find himself struggling for opportunities
