Kallum Watkins did play for Latchford but was determined to sign for Leeds (is his family from there, despite him being born in Manchester?), so he wasn't a case of one that got away or one that was released in error.
Quote="Roddy B"You are kidding yourself if you believe that. Watkins played for Latchford Albion and played wing/full back for Warrington's service area teams for a few years. Know a few lads who played with him for both clubs. He is from the Manchester area, but I'm fairly certain he went to Leeds from Warrington.'"
you were right that kallum did in fact play for latchford albion,but you were incorrect in your assumption that he moved to the rhinos from warrington as he came via salford as i stated,i do believe this now clarifies this matter once and for all

I don't think he ever played academy for Salford. In the link you give it states 2007 as his first academy season with Leeds when he would have been 16/17 so I can't see him playing academy for Salford prior to that. It may have been Salford service area teams (but again I seem to recall him playing for Warrington service area but can't be sure on that) as I think he hails from Cadishead.
He was a regular at Wilderspool with his dad to watch our academy teams when his elder brother Cash was playing. Perhaps some are getting mixed up with his brother.

Sheesh give Kallum Watkins a break, we all made mistakes at that age. He is still young and has got time to get a career with Warrington in the future and maybe win some Challenge Cups at Wembley so lets not write him off yet.
