Tom Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 He is an academy player as already stated, it is probably that he has just turned 17 and has signed his first professional contract with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 He's listed here: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/AcademyInformation/0,,10327~393830,00.html Blimey - how many staff?!?!

Olé Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 From the surname and the fact he is apparently from New Jersey, he will be of Portuguese origin as there are loads there. If you ever fly into New York via Newark airport, Newark is one of the biggest concentrations in the US, if you travel into Manhattan from the airport by train you go via Newark station, the Ironbound is next to it, and is New York/New Jersey's Little Portugal, I've watched a few of our games there on Ferry Street and the atmosphere is incredible, the videos on YouTube during major tournaments likewise. EDIT: the power of Google says he was going to play for Stoke, he has a very active Twitter and confirms my assumption: "Brown believes Castanheira will be offered a two-year youth contract after that visit, if he is able to obtain a Portuguese passport and European Union work visa. Both Luis and Maria Castanheira, Dylan's parents, were born in Portugal, and his grandparents still live there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 YouTube scouting anyone? (I assume we can't afford to send scouts to the USA): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunton_Red Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I asked him on twitter when I was looking at the news of him signing last night and he said "yeah a 2-year youth scholarship with the youth team" @dcastanheira30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Blimey - how many staff?!?! Some interesting names, plenty of whom I'd never heard of including ex-gas Trevor Challis as Head of Recruitment (whatever that involves). To obtain Category 2 Academy status, we have to have 20 staff within the set up. Worryingly, some of those names (Clayton/Horseman/Challis) were here under the old regime.

Mr Wendall Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 William Clyne is also an American who signed 2 year youth contract - both quite highly rated within the high school system over there. Interestingly we had 4 youth trialists playing in the u21 game against Hereford on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Not sure why you are worried, I'm sure the management have just shipped out the deadwood and kept those who they think are doing a good job.
