I need some assistance, if poss!

Crusaders beat Miners in last years u18's National Youth League Grand Final.

Which, if any, players from the Miners and Easts 18's last year have now signed pro, whther for us, or anyone else?

Does anyone know of other players in that age group at the other NYL clubs signing for any other pro clubs?

I'm not interested in players signed direct from professional Academy squads... only in players involved in last year's National Youth comp.

Cheers

Anthony Nicholson played in that game against the Crusaders. He's now signed with us. www.leighreporter.co.uk/centurio ... 5839089.jp

Adam Clay has signed for Salford and Johnny Pownall for us.

thanks guys. I'm in discussion with the powers-that-be as to whether the NYL is a 'performance' league. I need to show that it does provide a pathway into the pro game. This info is really helpful.

I think Anthony Morrison from saddleworth is now at warrington and Luke Tomlinson from east leeds is at hunslet.

jacob fairbank from elland has gone to huddersfield

Is he one of THE Fairbanks Gary?

yes its Davids son, hes a big lad and quite tough.

someone has actually signed him.is that a joke?

Adam's a good player and did well for Salford's academy at the back end of last season.

Fairbank is a very good player. Infact there are alot of good players to come out of the NYL and Leigh have signed 3 of the better ones.

From what i saw of clay last season he wasnt anything to rite home about,as slow as a cart horse.surprised salford have give him a chance.

I think your thinking about the wrong player.......

What makes you say that.he has scored a couple of good trys but appart from that nothing.there was a young winger down at leigh east i was very impressed with more than mr clay he was called billy but havn't seen him for a couple of weeks.His willingless to help his forwards out was superb and also has the speed to beat people.

TBH why should we or you be bothered he hasn't signed for either club

Im Just having an opinion you tit,thats what this site is for isn't it?

and there was no need for that the TBH was a gesture that I wasn't having a go just making a comment, now apoligise or I complain.
