No, he was on trial at Shrewsbury but was being linked with us.

It's interesting (well maybe not) that one can prefix the word "citizen" to both his Christian name and surname

So now we're signing players from Hitchin? Transfer strategy gone wrong!

Read a bit on Shrewsbury forum and looks like he did well in the trial games but they didn't have the budget to sign him allegedly as the manager wants another experienced defender in as well. Sounds familiar.

I think it is 2.

My point wasn't the level, it was people going mad about the level they are at without actually knowing anything about them or seeing them play.

Look at Jodi Jones from the conference, looks an unbelievable signing. Noone knows yet

A decent footballer is a decent footballer at any level. At 19 he's just making his way in the game. Not all kids are at academies when they start out in the game for many many reasons. If Mowbray thinks he's good enough then get him onboard.

I'd prefer us to sign young hungry uncovered gems from the lower leagues than round the houses unfit 40 year old donkeys that had 1 average season in the Prem 10 years ago....

Just personal preference like....

He's just the type of player I'm happy we try to sign.

Up coming talent from the lower leagues. Much better than journey men who don't give a shit anymore and just pick up a wage.

If Premiership and Championship clubs are interested in him then he must be quality, hope TM offers him a deal soon before bigger clubs come calling

Probably, but to say we signed him from the conference isn't a very true statement but it just fits better in this thread than saying we signed a League 2 player.

Said when he was first linked the lads I know that play with at Hitchin say he will undoubtedly go onto play pro in the football league just a matter of when and who with.

From what I've heard I would have him in here.

I mean, we signed him from a conference club but whatever, my point is he's a lower league player and he looks class.

There are plenty of players who have come to this level from non league and are more than good enough. Give the kid a chance. I'm willing to bet none of you have seen him play, so not sure you're qualified to comment on whether he is good enough.

Jamie Vardy was playing at the same level a few years back with Stocksbridge Park Steels. Maybe he's not good enough either.
