Remember being shocked seeing him playing for Cork when I was picking random 1 star rated teams to play my mate as on FIFA, some move to get to Watford from there

The under 23 system is bizarre, just Hoovers up failed youth team players for a couple more years then releases them

He’s 22 so can only be there for the rest of this season.

I liked the kid but he’s never playing at that level. How bizarre.

He was still here under this regime. Lingy decided he wasn’t good enough for the national league and released him.

Justin Edinburgh was the head coach at the time.

It was the Orient connection that got that deal done. Richard Thomas manages the Academy there, and there are other Orient connections too.
