Just seen on instagram that a young lad called Azae Bonnick made his debut for our under 18s just two weeks after his 15th birthday. Has played for England u15s too so seems a good prospect.

Good that we have some talent coming through, but also mental that you have instagram accounts hyping up literal children.

Him and his brother have been social media 'stars' since an early age, as their dad has put a lot of time and effort into training them. IIRC, his older brother is at Forest Green, and is working his way into the first team there.
As long as he keeps grounded, and doesn't let things go to his head, he has a chance to do good things with himself.
I wouldn't say I've been waiting for him to break into the U18s, but, I've kept an eye out on how hes doing.

Little insight into the players that spend 1 day a week at Forest and the rest at school (the player on the left of the thumbnail is the previously mentioned Azae Bonnick)..
