How do I recommend a promising player to the Charlton scouting network. I know a very promising player over here (Canada) that has the potential to go a long way - already breaking into the Canadian professional league at 17…..before anyone laughs at the Canadian bit, same system that Alphonso Davies started in LOL

Best thing to do is send Steve Gallen his details. Gallen will reply that he is has already lined up a 34 year old on loan from Sunderland. Fast forward 10 years when said 17 year old has won his 3rd consecutive Champions league medal….And Gallen will say that he has never heard of him.4

Wouldn’t Steve Avory be a better person to contact4

Most of our youngsters in recent years have been from the South East because I thought that was part of Category 2 and the distance from home.
Not certain but was the last teenager from abroad to come to cafc U18:
A Koc ?

According to the OS:
Please contact the club via email for information on the academy and trials.

I assume they'll want a bit of background info as I doubt we have any scouts covering Canada.
You could also mention Owen Hargreaves who started out in Calgary before Bayern Munich picked him up, and there lies the problem, the big clubs have international scouting networks and if this lad is any good he'll already be on their radar. Then again we have Martin Sandgaard and his laptop...0 -
Do you have a montage of his best bits set to a random drum and bass tune that you can post on YouTube and send the link to them?14

What’s his name? I’ll see what footage I can get of him.
biggest issue will be work permits….but if he has English ancestry it’s a lot easier3 -

I believe Ash and Dench have uk dual citizenship - I may be wrong - but because one of their parents are british it's easierForeverAddickted said:

I believe Irish effectively count as British players so don’t need work permits.Swisdom said:

Irish people have the same right to live and work in the U.K. (even post Brexit) as Brits do, so I don’t think a work permit for Irish players is a factor.Swisdom said:

Although guess its like any kid from abroad, move them over here, put them in accommodation and hey presto, they're within the required distance.0 -
Since Brexit, any kids signing from Ireland (and the EU) need to be at least 18. Recently lots of promising irish kids have been moving to Italian clubs at 16 instead of UK.se9addick said:

I don’t think someone only has to have English ancestry.
Welsh, Northern Irish, Irish (after 18 years of age) and Scottish qualifies too.0 -
