The OS says:

"The youngster’s progress was rewarded with a first professional contract during the summer of 2016.

A player of undoubted talent and ability, he appeared for the United youth team before turning out for St. Helens Town during 2015/16 on a work experience loan.

He has a good attitude and is one very much for the future."

What else do we know of this young man?

Seems strangely legit - Google him and it seems he was mentioned in dispatches ahead of the Galmptob friendly last summer; there is another page asking for someone to provide digs for him etc.

Just seems really strange that the year after we abolish the youth team, we end up with two youth graduates on senior terms! Along with Hancox, good luck to him

He can be sponsored via the club site so is definitely in the squad. His pay will probably be a lot less than he could earn by working at McDonalds so good luck to him. Also, a nice way of filling our subs bench after the usual long list of suspensions and injuries.
