Fantastic!
Go on Ash!
Ashley is the nephew of a friend of mine. I actually went to a few city games with him, but he won't remember as he was about 4. Also, I've played footie with him in my mate's back garden, but again, he wasn't very old. Showed a bit of promise though....
From what I hear, this kid really is the next big thing. Getting on the pitch for the reserves at 15 is no mean feat - when was the last time that happened? He'll be pushing for the first team in the next couple of years I hope.
Maybe he's the answer this season? Stranger things have happened...
He would fit in with our current "hair" theme as he has a funny little afro!

Tell him well done as well.

Are you allowed to play for the first team that young? Think you have to be at least 16. Be great to see him start playing for us now though. Push MDV out the team!
I think it's good how we have quite a few players involved in the England youth teams (Porter, Stearman, Chambers, anymore?) and for other countries too. Hopefully some of this promise will come good in our first team in a few years

We need to make more of our Academy - and it's good to see some promising players coming through.
We have had a lot of false dawns (Stewart, Heath, Wright, Dawson, O'Grady), so let's hope some of them make it with us as first team regulars in the future. The likes of Stearman, Sheehan, Weso, etc give us all hope in our current (and immediate future) financial plight. Although I was sad to see Piper go (and his subsequent injury problems), it does show that a good academy can pay back in a number of ways.
If and when we do make it through to the Premiership they will have to be exceptional if they are to break into the first team (without going out on loan a lot beforehand).

I remember reading somewhere (a lot of my posts start like this 
) and maybe it was something that the FT said, but Ash is known about by all the (really) big clubs, as is Stearman. And Ash was one of the few players singled out by CL as being stars of the future.
Fingers crossed. Go on Ashley!

Played for Hinckley a few years back now - was useless at that level even - didn't seem to have his heart in it.
