Jordan Bradshaw

[joofy]

Hi guys,

I recently noticed we had released Jordan Bradshaw,

Anyone see him play? I heard he was a good prospect, i wonder if he quit the game after that,

Thoughts?

Joofy, when I read the thread title my first thought was \"oh another worth a punt thread\". I can't say I know who he is.

Playing for Frickley I think.

Interesting, im keen to find out more on him as a player,

Anyone actually watch him in the youth or reserves at any point?

Not playing at Frickley i see..not a good sign

I'm surprised at this, I saw him play for the Youth team in the FA youth cup against Chelsea and thought he looked OK.

Wasn't it Maxted who played against Chelsea ???

Doh, I'm wrong again

Bradshaw was/is a striker. He said he was surprised we released him, as we kept him on a month longer than the other youth players released from his year. Fell out with a coach or something (I can't quite remember the article properly), cos RO'K rated him quite highly, which added to his expectation of getting a professional deal.

I think you may be thinking of Brad Grayson - and he didn't fall out with Richard O'Kelly. I believe O'Kelly just thought he wouldn't cut it.

oh aye.. you're right Chris - what did ever happen to Bradshaw then? I thought we were keeping hold of him?

[Chrisd_123]

He was on the bench a few times last season. He was the youth keeper until this season I think. I saw him a few times for the youth team, in the couple of youth cup games they played at the Keepmoat vs Newcastle etc and he looked pretty good. It's a shame really with SOD being reluctant to give promising youth players a chance we'll never know if he was one with decent potential. He had to be worth a go at some point over Flappy Woods.

I thought he was a good young keeper, from what I had seen. Guess Maxted took over. I saw him in the youth team and am disappointed that SO'D released him. Looked a very good young prospect.

[Townender]

Seems a handy keeper to me, met him once and he seems a decent kid.

[jucyberry]

I asked a friend of mine about him and he rates him extremely highly. Lord knows we could do with a good keeper now the ever georgous Sully is getting older..

According to his Twitter feed he is off to the States this year- presumably to play football and study.

Thanks guys, great information..much appreciated.

Just to add to the topic of the youth team rather than starting a new thread...it's unbelievable how many good young players who played in our sunday league system and ended up being picked up by Scunny, Hull and Rotherham to name a few. I've grown up and played with a few of them and I know our lack of scouting/poor standard of scouting over the years we've let slip a real few gems. I really hope Saunders can sort this out as he has promised!
