Not seen such Bravery!
Excellent.
Although when I see this thread bounced, I think he's been poached.

He's made the bench for the Development Squad recently, not too shabby for a 17 year old.
With Rusk now in charge of the team, a few of the youth players could make the step-up next season.

I assumed that it was an ironic (and therefore IMHO, funnier) take on the name that you suggest.

Can't comment on how he has been performing, but I believe he signed his first professional contract with the Albion on January 1st.
His development seems to have been somewhat slow with the Albion. For instance, this season (which is his second scholarship year), he had only made 7 starts for the youth team (U-18s) by the end of February (usually you would expect a second year to have already become a youth team regular and be pushing for a development squad place by that stage). He has also only played 20 minutes for the DS (as a sub against Derby in February).
He has, however, started the last five U-18 games, and scored 4 goals in the process.
[Just for comparison sake, James Tilley, who is a first year scholar and forward who is a full year younger than Larusson, seems to have already broken through into the development squad, playing in each of the last 6 games.]
Players develop at different rates though, and Larusson certainly seems capable of finding the net, and he doesn't seem to be going anywhere just yet.

It is the Icelandic wunderkid's 18th birthday today. Time for him to really push on and become a regular at U-21 level next season.

It would appear that Ragnar Mar Larusson joined his old club IA Akranes on loan at the end of July - Ragnar Már Lárusson gengur í raðir ÍA

I guess the Albion decided it wasn't worthy of a mention on the website.
Oh well, stick to NSC if you want up-to-date coverage of the contract and loan status of all Albion players - Brighton & Hove Albion Squad 2015-16 - Contract durations

Does that mean 'Icelandic wunderkid' is now to be called just plain old 'Icelandic kid'?

The 'wunder' is how this thread got to 22 pages after this news.

I am getting a ferry to Iceland for a 4 week driving trip starting September 12th. I see his team are playing in Keflavik on the 20th September. Might have to go to that with the Brighton shirt on and as the ground looks as big as Saltdean's maybe search him out and get a photo for this thread. They then have a home game week after, wherever that is, and week after that away at IBV whoever and wherever they are. Should get a chance to see one of those games at least.
