I think there are only 4 or 5 u16s left after they did the release a few weeks ago, they’ll be bringing trial lists in now to add to the squad, they usually have 8 or 9 scholars each year. 3 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: Well, this won't be the first time the internet lies ? Just to add, someone said he occasionally played for the U16s when he was only 13. Perhaps he is still officially an U15 but he stepped up to the U18s very early?

Millenniumram Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Pleasantly surprised if we’re getting big money for players that young. Good business from us if true, will help sort our finances out with no real short term impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) If selling really young academy players for a decent sum is what it takes to help our first team and stabilise the club. Then let it happen ??♂️ They could look good now but be poo when they get older ?? can you do add on’s with academy players ??

How does that work? Surely if he’s 16 in September he would be in the U17/18 age group as he will be turning 17 during the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, my lad is a year older with his birthday in the same period and his age group is U8s. Although he is also eligible for U9s which is the level he plays at, except for Derby....

I think it's done based on the academic calendar, so anyone under the age of 16 moving into the 1st September will be classed as an U16, even if they turn 16 on the 1st.

Yep, I get that. Same as when I was younger and played youth football. My query was footymum saying that someone who is 16 going into September would play U16. That’s not the case. If they’re 16 before 1st September, they would usually by going into the U17. Feel like it’s all irrelevant anyway DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moved to this country, and didn't have a team for a couple of years. Failed trial with Leicester before we gave him a chance in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
