JamesBCFC Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Louis Britton given a one year deal, signs from Mangotsfield. He scored a hattrick in a youth game for City recently is what I assume was part of his trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume him to be a striker based on how he did in the trial and the fact his name has cropped up a lot on Mangotsfield's Twitter and usually around them scoring.

JamesBCFC Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Louis scored 5 goals in a 5-0 win for the Mangos recently, and 5 on his trial (a brace vs Blades to go with his Watford hat trick) Seen them play twice this season (both against Manor Farm) but don't think he featured in either game. A certain Clayton Fortune did though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just from the photo he looks a unit. Back in he 80s a player like that would have been snapped up by the Gas. Worth a punt, hopefully he can make rapid progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did. Me and several mates at Rovers have been banging on about how we should be taking a look at players like Louis, who has been scoring for fun since he has been in mens football at Cadbury Heath, Bris and Mangotsfield. Picking up local players is something Rovers used to be so good at, quite how we never picked up Louis is beyond me. His dad was a decent player and could well have made it as a pro himself if his big nose hadn't kept being caught off side :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpcity Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Bit off topic but while on this lads twitter I saw something about a player called brandon barnes playing in the Aussie lower league but scoring for fun and calls for A-league teams to give him a trial. Anyway an article says he played for our academy and a couple of local teams. Anyone remember him from the local scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just turned 18. Presumably he’ll do the preseason with us and go out on loan to a conference south team; Bath or WSM perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
