Ex Trainees

[topbanana36]

Was just perusing Bideford AFC results from yesterday and came across a Ben Watson an ex-albion player. You have the obvious ex youth players like Gareth Barry and Russell Martin and it got me thinking how many more ex-youth went elsewhere and still play. Over to you fellow NSCers. Incidentally Ben Watson scored twice and is having a tremendous season according to my ex school mate of 3 years.

Sam Rents and Kane Wiils both play for Margate

 

[Don Tmatter]

Have a look at the non league scene in Sussex, you'll find a few playing there

Obviously Elph and Cook at Bournemouth. Who was that midfielder they had for a few seasons? About the same age?

Jake Robinson at Whitehawk.

James Hayter?

He was a striker we released at 15 years old. I was sent to watch a player at Salisbury and mentioned him to Barry Lloyd who I was scouting for and he said that we had released him. He is now at Doncaster and had a successful career in the lower leagues.

Chris Winterton, Charlie Oatway Jnr, and Paul Hinshelwood are at Bognor.

I'm pretty sure he came through the youth system at Bournemouth and not with us?

 

[MattBackHome]

Jake Robinson at Whitehawk.

Just seen he's now 28.

In my mind he's still only about 19 and could still make it. Bizarre.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Rikki Banks, Gary Elphick, Steve Brinkhurst & Chris Breach at Lewes.

He definitely left us at 15 years old as told me by Barry Lloyd when I suggested he was worth a trial. H e apparently left us and was taken on by Bournemouth then progressed through their youth system.

Fair enough. Wikipedia has him starting his career as a youth player at Bournemouth, I know it's not always the most accurate source!

He did effectively as he was with us as a schoolboy then not kept on so her had no career with us. I can only tell you what I was told by BL when as I said I suggested giving him a trial. He was on loan to Salisbury from Bournemouth and I was sent to watch a CB, who we didn't pursue any more.
