Evening,

Seems he on trial with Swansea atm. Of was last week anyway.

Anyone seen him play? What's he like?

Winger. Decent on the ball, tall (for a winger) but slight. One for the future rather than any time soon. Has had loan spells at Bishops Stortford and Hendon (both two levels below the NL) without making much impact.

I imagine this means he’s a victim of the cull of the u23s at the end of the year. He’s a 3rd year scholar and I doubt he’s ready for the first team squad whereas Swansea can probably afford to give him a year or two to see if he kicks on or not.

I suspect we may see several others out on trial in an attempt to let them get themselves clubs ahead of the summer rush. It seems decisions have already been made on a lot on them. We may see the retained list issued a lot earlier (and with fewer players unaccounted for!) than in previous seasons.

@Gazza121 did Harry Seaden get himself a contract in the end?

Don't think so. Hasn't been seen for the u23's since.

Did I read that Harry is trialing at Derby now?

I wouldn't have pegged Unwin from what I've seen as one of our most likely to get a deal at a higher level - but always happy to be pleasantly surprised.
