yeah he has also signed, as too matthew bailey (both dudley hill products

Can take down the Flannery and Meli ruomurs now aswell.

consider it done, Ive not added homegrown to Southernwood yet as I'm not sure he actually is.

I also have not amended the youngsters contracts until Connor Murphy does something in T&A or club announce signings.

we usually announce junior extensions, etc. at turn of year.

Anything on michael Worrincey yet?

Signed seal delievered, he's yours.

I think, given his age, he WILL count as home grown. But I think he has to stay at the club until he's 21 for it to count

diskin added to the list

Halley out for 6-8 months with knee reconstruction.

Mercenary yes, but on this basis is a waste of a spot and cap space. Spectacularly underwhelming in 2011, lost his zip, far too lateral on kick returns and defensively weak. Factor in the quality of Kearney, signing of Royston, Platty as back up and Halley is a Volvo in the garage.

updated with Halleys injury from September - cant believe i had missed it from the list (i must be getting slack)

Hard to see where Halley fits next season and beyond.

I'm concerned.

I've agreed with you twice in two days.

Tend to agree with that but in the short term i.e we may need him to comply with homegrown rules. whilst we have plenty of homegrown academy lads in 1st team squad I think we need 8 homegrown in the '25 man squad' which is the 25 highest earners. Ones I can think of that would fall in this bracket are

lynch
langley
sykes
halley
whitehead
kopczak

with maybe burgess twins,addy or o'brien sneaking in after there contract extensions last year and this year respectively
