He only ended up at buds because his 2015 club offered 17's, trailed at another club but missed so went to buds because they offered 19's
Would he be playing first grade at his previous club, no chance or at any other top half club, probably not
If he is this good then he would be looking well beyond buds minimum jets youth next year

If buds have some plan to develop youth into first graders then start with first grade, make sure it is strong so players want to play there,
As I said token effort to try and keep him
My reply to your post never once suggested the kid will or will not stay at Atown. i have no idea if this player will or will not be at Atown next year and beyond.

My reply was directed at you suggesting Atown are not investing heavily in youth . Can I consider this topic closed as you decided to deflect away from that point you initially raised and focus on one particular player .

I also asked you to explain how you consider a club to be strong in your opinion . Which again was a question you decided against answering.

Please don't feel the need to reply now as the moment has passed .
