Had he continued playing CB he would be at Worthing now as that was his limit. As a defensive midfielder he might make National League.

Did he though? I seem to remember reading on her about him playing CB (possibly a friendly, my mind escapes me) and people claiming that positionally he was horrendous, and moving to midfield meant he had a bit more license to roam forward, which he did to some effect under OG. He would have been decent at a lower level (L1 or 2) but his off-field issues at the time clearly affected his progress.
He wasn't a world beater by any stretch, but I don't think him changing killed his career. If anything, he prolonged it as he wouldn't have been a regular starter at CB for us.

Where’s his midfield partner J F-C now? Still at Charlton?
Yes. Got injured on the opening day of the season and ruled out for the full season

"Superb" mentioned a couple times on here but must have been watching a different player! He looked extremely raw and out of his depth to me. Hope he can get a long run somewhere National League or League 2 level and make a career. But didn't seem suited to Midfield or CB at a high level YET.

It is a common misconception that Garcia converted him from a CB to a midfielder. He often played in midfield for the Chelsea U-16 side and then the U-18s - TheChels.info - Rohan Ince
Don't be silly BG we know you disliked/never rated him, although your comment above is just stupid.

Always thought he was missing a football brain, especially when nearing the opposition penalty area. You could actually see the panic and cogs turning during which time he mostly either played the wrong pass or dithered and lost the ball.
'Incident' aside he seemed a nice lad who I would have thought could make a career out of lower league football but no higher than League One or Two.

If you see him again , can you ask him if BG is right in saying he was moved to midfield because he was a terrible centre back?

Obviously Chelsea tried him in both positions before deciding he wouldnt make it so released him. Perhaps Cheltenham will be his level.

I feel bad for misjudging him now. I said he would be a National League player by 26 so he has technically proved me wrong.
Good luck Rohan.
Good luck Rohan.

It’s worth remembering that he lost his dad around the time of his court case. Two life changing events that close together is always going to be hard for somebody to deal with, especially someone so young.
I do think there are some extremely exaggerated comments here; both wildly positive and ridiculously harsh. He was clearly an extremely raw young player in a pretty rubbish team who managed to show some potential and left with some pretty memorable highlights; including one of the best Albion goals I’ve ever seen. He’s never going to be a Premier League player, or a top end championship player tbh. However anybody who thinks L2 is his level has obviously never spoken to a Swindon fan who watched his brief loan spell there, where he was voted MOTM in over half his games for them.
Hopefully he can sort his career out at Cheltenham. He had all the makings of a lower league Patrick Viera and I believe he could have a solid career at a promotion chasing L1 team if he sorts himself out.

He was a quality midfield destroyer for us under Garcia. He's had some bad luck and could easily become a regular Championship player again. Good signing for them
sadly he often reminded me of Bambi on ice but he was though hard working and always gave his all which again often ment he run out of energy and was often substituted as a result, he did score a couple of very good goals and was a very good ball winner, I along with all Brighton fans wish him well at age 26 if over his injuries should be coming into prime and push his way back up the leagues

strong and stable with me, or...
Agree, funny how people want to rewrite history. He was a decent young player for us that season. Funny how some people criticising the club for not playing youth quite happy to criticise youth players who came through for us.
