Charlie Caton, 16 at Shrewsbury. Was on the bench today in league 1. Son of Bala town manager and has represented wales schools. Was at wrexham before he moved to Shrewsbury. Merseyside boy though I think and seems as if he supports England on his Twitter. Just searched his name into Twitter, looks like his old Welsh primary school tweeted about him. He follows the FAW too tbf. Looks like he’s eligible. Is it 5 years, or 5 continuous years for schooling btw? Confirmed Charlie Caton born in Wales

Just stumbled across a bit of info regarding Alex Scott (2003) from Bristol City. Sounds like he’s from Guernsey originally. (First club was Guernsey and a Guernsey news Twitter account (Guernsey Press Sport) has posted about him). With Lloegr u18s currently. Would he be eligible for us dragonsoccer? I Can’t seem to get my head around the eligibility of channel islanders!

I Can’t seem to get my head around the eligibility of channel islanders! If his parents and grand parents are also from Guernsey, then he has a free choice of the home nations. If he has a parent or grandparent who are from one of the home nations he can only represent that nation That's my understanding of it - happy to be corrected!

I was told a few months back that, the issue of Channel Islands players is being confirmed within the Home Nations, looks like there are changes going to happen, all to be confirmed
NOT Confirmed but, new regulations etc - Channel Island players are only eligible for England
as normal guess its wait and see

Where would that leave Luke Harris? Would he become ineligible for us were that to be confirmed? Sums up Britishness being Englishness if the proposals go ahead.

Yep sums it up if they go ahead with that Although surely that wouldn't effect players who are already eligible for us. Must just be for players who are exclusively channel islanders with no other qualifying allegiance I have a mate from Cardiff who has moved out to Guernsey. If he were to have children surely they'd be eligible for Wales still by virtue of having a Welsh parent

Been told
used to be a Home Nations agreement on Channel Islands, Isle of Man etc "but it is no longer in place"
the FAWales are rasing the matter at the next Home Nations Associations meeting
will check on players already in the system (who represent Wales)

Did we ever find out who the potentially eligible player that was on the bench in the Championship a couple of weeks ago was? I did, confirmed the player's links go back 1 generation too far, as always these things take time etc

Question: If for example someone like Kieffer Moore had a child who was born and had lived in England for all their life, would they be eligible for Wales because Kieffer has represented us?
I was thinking about it and I didn't know whether the rules for eligibility work like that. Obviously Kieffer qualifies through his grandparents, but I wasn't sure if that means his familial link continues with him, or whether it expires with his generation so to speak

His son or daughter would have to same links etc
See freedy eastwood as the example in the above tweet

Hopefully Mrs Moore will pop one out in Heath Hospital.

Has anyone from the FAW ID team made contact with George Tipton? Bangor born, former Wales U21 - Matthew Tipton's lad.
18 year old playing in the Northern Ireland Premier League who playing for Portadown, recently had trials with Burnley. Baring in mind Matt Timpton is the manager of Portadown so not sure how much nepotism will come into play because of that.
Played a fair number of times for them about 20 odd leagues games at 18 years old is a decent feat.
Probably have lads playing for decent English academies for his age group mind but even then something to look into

I see they've amended the article title now but it hasn't changed in the link where they call them 'non-Welsh' players. The original also had Neco Williams down as being from the North-West (of England)

Could they mean Tom Lowery? Or is it someone new?

Noticed that Derby have a Dylan Williams on the bench. He comes up as an 18yo English defender, but any Welsh in him with that name?

Couple of questions:
Firstly, about 6+ months ago dragonsoccer reported a possible eligible player was regularly making the bench for a Championship club. I'm guessing in hindsight that was Sorba Thomas, but did we ever get confirmation on who that was?
Secondly, have we ever had confirmation about whether Rhys Williams is eligible for us or not? If he is, I wonder whether some time down at Swansea this season, and a few whispers in the ear from Welsh players and coaching staff, could persuade him to make himself available for us?

If he is, I wonder whether some time down at Swansea this season, and a few whispers in the ear from Welsh players and coaching staff, could persuade him to make himself available for us? There’s been quotes that the FAW were only made aware of Sorba Thomas’ eligibility a few weeks ago so not sure it’s him. Not sure about Rhys Williams but I’m sure we’d have heard about it by now or he was eligible. Trouble is, the Welsh sounding name sometimes makes us hopeful the player is likely to be eligible when in reality we’re more likely to find a player called Robson-Kanu or Ampadu, haha.

I'm 90% sure it was confirmed that Rhys Williams is not eligible. Can't honestly remember the conversation on here though

Not sure about Rhys Williams but I’m sure we’d have heard about it by now or he was eligible. I think I read somewhere the Welsh link was from a great-grandparent, therefore not eligible.

Evening all, thought I’d ask about Pickering at Blackburn again since he’s on the box tonight along with Matt Smith?
