[Albion] Albion U16 Adam Brett - competing for the Wales U17 squad at the UEFA European Championships

[AZ Gull]

I do apologise for interrupting the great NSC RDZathon that is currently ongoing here this weekend, but life continues apace on the good ship Albion and we have an U-16 academy player representing his country at a finals tournament this week.

Adam Brett is a member of the Welsh U-17 side that has reached the finals of the 2024 UEFA U-17 European Championships being held in Cyprus. The FA of Wales website carries a short interview with our young man, discussing the Finals as well as his taking of GCSEs:-

The tournament commenced today. Wales are in Group B, alongside Denmark, Austria and Croatia.

Wales lost 2-0 to Denmark with Adam coming on as a 78th-minute substitute.

Wales are next in action on Thursday against Austria and then on Sunday against Croatia.

You need to change your user pic, mate. Now it's Dr Who season, why not pick something pertinent. Guessing your vintage, how about this perty little fellah:

and if that's not up your street try this:

Is it anything to do with Adam Brett who was part of our medical team until last season?

 

[Rookie]

Looking through the secret scout naming the English u17 (or possibly u18) squad and could have sworn we would have someone in there but no

Yes - they both have the same name.

It's the U-17s.

Freddie Simmonds did play up a year for them back in September but no surprise he isn't in this squad. We do have a former player in there though, in the form of Shumaira Mheuka.

Thanks didn’t realise he was playing a year up. Mheuka is going to be the one we regret

England had an impressive 4-0 victory over France in Group D of this tournament today.

Hopefully a sign of things to come as if all games go as expected we’ll meet them in the semis in a month or so

Our boy Adam starts for the Wales U-17s tonight against Austria:-

Incidentally, I think this match (which kicked-off about ten minutes ago) MIGHT be available on the BBC - for anyone interested - but I'll await someone who actually lives in the UK to confirm that.

Adam Brett came on as a 71st minute sub for the Welsh U-17s on Sunday as they drew 1-1 with Croatia (and, in the process, prevented Croatia from qualifying for the knockout stages).

Wales finished bottom of their group with a solitary point.

England U-17s beat Spain 3-1 today (former Albion academy prospect Shim Mheuka scored England's first goal).

England now face Italy in the quarter-finals on Thursday.

Mheuka starts again for the England U-17s in the quarter-final against Italy. Match kicks-off in half an hour.

I am at the game. Mheuka hasn't got into it at all yet (half time now).
Entertaining 1-1 so far. I fancy Italy to win it.
