I’ll give you George Delaney but it’s a pretty short list.
Can you name this list of 19/20 year old forwards that have contributed to their first team with a good level of consistency?
There would perhaps be a handful at best.
Boothroyd is 22 in December still not old but he’s also not 19.
Off top of my head -
Junior Nsemba 20
Harvey Hill 21
Sam Eseh 20/21/22
Matty Nicholson 20/21
Jake Whitfield 22 might be older.
George Delaney 20
Noah Stevens 19
I’m sure there will be plenty more, and remember they are playing SL not Championship so it’s much harder to get game time in that environment.
There have also been some very impressive 18-20 year olds that have debuted in 2024 whilst not wracking up 10 games they will in the next couple of seasons like Lucas Green, Max Wood, Adam Holroyd and a good few more who are only 19/20 and playing SL.
