Peterborough's U23 manager just happens to be a certain Simon Davies so assume that's why he's come to the attention of the FAW Nice, even better to have an inside man there.

He was playing non-league for Wroxham.
I hope someone hasn’t mixed that up with a certain place in North Wales haha.

Currently playing Football Manager and Anthony Hartigan is listed as eligible for Wales. 2000 born, AFC Wimbledon player. Could be lazy researchers as his middle name’s Rhys, but wonder if he’s been checked out?
Whether he’s good enough is of course another question.

I'd have assumed he'd have been checked out - can't imagine a player with over 100 odd appearances in the EFL at his age would've been missed..
What's Alex Woodyard's eligibility on the game? (I don't have it), maybe a researcher has just thought there's a centre mid at AFC Wimbledon whose eligibile for Wales and seen Hartigan has a Welsh middle name and assumed he's the midfielder that's "Welsh eligible".
But then again, AFC Wimbledon do have pretty close ties/connections with Sports Interative and Football Manager, I'd imagine out of any team on the game theirs is the most accurate so who knows...

Neil mentioned two players who could be eligible on twitter a few weeks back, any idea who they were?

Marlon Fossey is another channel islander case, born in the US, from age 11 he moved to Jersey. Again, I imagine he’d have been checked out, but thought I’d flag him up just in case. He could well have moved to England for footballing purposes before the age of 16.
He’s played for the US age teams and currently on loan at Bolton from Fulham. 23 years old fullback.

I believe he'd only be eligible for England. I am assuming based off his wiki he's been at Fulham since the age of 11. Based off the home nations agreement if a player who has been educated for five years in territory of the association they were educated in. I'm assuming he would have lived and educated in London during this time. Despite being a British citizen, he would only be eligible for England because of the education clause and in turn make ineligible for the other home nations.

Bit of a long shot, and I'm sure we'd know by now if he was eligible, but does Cardiff's Tom Sang have any Welsh connections?
He and his family appear to be from Liverpool, but seem to have quite a few links to Welsh football. His father Neil played for Bangor and Caernarfon, and is now an agent who's highest profile clients, judging by his twitter page, seem to be Nathan Broadhead and Charlie Caton. He also represents/represented Lee Trundle, who obviously has quite a strong link to Welsh football, and Kevin Ellison who plays for Newport. Also, Tom's brother Chris plays for Bala after moving there from Wrexham. Obviously most of these links are probably more to do with Liverpool than Wales but I thought it was interesting, and that all of them coupled together with the fact Tom moved to Cardiff, might be a result of some blood connection to Wales?

Interesting, if his father's been involved in Welsh football for a while it could mean that they have lived in wales for 5 years before Sang turned 18, which would be another route to qualify

Doubt he'd be eligible. Just scousers being involved in North Wales football more than anything really which is common in the footballing scene up here.

Another bloody defender! Where’s all the strikers at currently? I honestly can’t remember the last time I heard a big club had signed a young Welsh striker. Hell, any Welsh striker! 😂 It feels beyond a joke now how crap we seem to be at finding and developing out and out goalscorers. Maybe this is some long winded form of pay back for having Rush, Saunders and Hughes all available at the same time. Apart from Moore there’s sod all in the cupboard and it really needs sorting

There’s a few up and coming gems: Johnson, Thomas (perhaps), Ampadu (at 21 he’s still a prospect imo), Wilson etc but yeah there is in general an (obvious) drop off in quality from what we have been used to. But in all honesty our youngsters are probably just a return to the mean and perhaps to be expected. We had a good run with Bale’s generation. The constant lack of a striker is very disspiriting though. A decent goalscorer can carry a team far more than a great centre back or a great midfielder, as Moore’s goals have probably carried Giggs and Page, to a certain extent. But everyone whose name crops up are just never strikers!

About half our squad is under 25 and managed to qualify for the WC playoffs...

I went to watch Newport v Barrow yesterday, a 2-1 win for County with both goals scored by the excellent Dom Telford. 21 goals in 22 games this season, 25 years old and despite only being 5ft 7 he looks like a real handful, does anyone know anything about his heritage?

Going slightly off at a tangent I find it bemusing that Lisbon born Fabio Carvaloa plays for England!

Not sure if this lad is definitely Welsh or not. Could do with confirming. ex-Wrexham academy. Wirral born but transfermarkt has him down as Welsh nationality.
Signed for Blackpool but loaned back to Southport for remainder of the season.

If he was in the Wrexham academy, there's a fair chance he would have been based in wales for 5 years before the age of 18, which would make him eligible for us

Came through at Blackpool and his nationality seems to be down as English so it probably take something hitherto unknown to be uncovered for him to turn out to be Welsh. Saw him play for Bristol Rovers on loan a few years back and and thought he had something about him as a striker. Can’t believe the club didn’t try to sign him and I’m not surprised he now seems to have found his shooting boots for Newport.
