He just needed one more goal or assist for the headline writers.

Isn't he a full back? Sounds like he should be playing a level or 2 higher already.

Ah,  makes more sense then, I'm sure I saw something saying he was a right back.


EDIT - yeah - https://britanniasport.com/2025/05/england-u15-squad-announced-for-may-international-break - clearly listed as a defender just last season so we've obviously decided to swap his position over the summer and it seems to be working out well.


Where did you see the details of results yesterday by the way? I can't find anything online for either game.

He’s on Bluesky and the gram as well. Also does a regular update on the Villa Park Podcast as well. Very informative.
