Louis Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 http://www.dailypost...55578-27893502/ Old article but interesting.. GETHIN JONES (midfielder, now at Everton) The current Wales schoolboy captain, 15-year-old midfielder Jones, from Porthmadog, skippered his country in their Victory Shield win over England back in October. Davies says: "We managed to get him first but Everton were very interested and he was with us for just over a year before he joined them. He's got a big future in the game – he's a dominant midfielder, a good size and he'll be one Everton think a lot of." RYAN HARRINGTON (centre-half, Everton) Still an U12, a number of clubs were interested in Harrington, who is from Wrexham and was discovered playing in the local leagues, before Everton snapped him up. Davies says: "He's developed quite a lot in the last 12 months and I know a lot of clubs were looking at him. Ryan is a boy we thought a lot of – he's a whole-hearted player and in training he was always among the first to arrive and the last to leave." NATHAN BROADHEAD (midfielder/winger, Everton) From Bangor, Broadhead is the same age as Harrington and is a quick, skilful winger who Davies says the Dragons will be keeping tabs on for the future after he joined Everton. Davies says: "Nathan's a quick player with excellent balance. He likes to take players on, he's two-footed and lots of clubs were looking at him. I'm sure he'll be one we'll keep an eye on to see how he progresses." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Why do they talk about Gethin Jones on S4C? Do they show Wales U16s or similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus jones Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Why do they talk about Gethin Jones on S4C? Do they show Wales U16s or similar? Yes sometimes, waiting for the latest highlights showing our U16 and U18 having both lost 2-0 away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
