One of our own! Let's hope he makes it. Played very well on his debut considering the absolute shambles around him.

Exactly. Thrown in at the deep end and did very well all things considered.

Good luck to the lad

 

up the Foxes

Go on Harvey! 

I won the Rice bowl too way back when, so you're in esteemed company.

How good actually is he then? I've not really seen him play.

Can't we check his FM rating to see how good he is/will be??????

He's absolute tripe on FM

Quote

Ten goals in three matches (including a brace over East Midlands rivals Derby County in a 5-0 victory) attracted the interest of first-team manager Claudio Ranieri.

Blimey, that is impressive, strange they focussed on his brace against Derby and not the 8 he scored in the other 2 games

Seen him a few times and never really stood out for me like the way Chilwell did in the under21s, that being said I've never really seen many mistakes from him in what is a pretty dismal youth team

[Barky]

How long before people start demanding he starts every game because he's clearly the answer to all our problems

[StanSP]

what's his contract saying?

[foxy boxing]

if he scores goals for us they'd be Harvey Wallbangers

[Koke]

Joe Mattock 

Richard Stearman 

Andy King

Levy Porter 

Louis Dodds 

Ashley Chambers 

Chris O'Grady 

Liam Moore 

Conrad Logan

Jeff Schlupp 

 

 

Those are just on top of my head of the players we've produced in the last decade. Only King, Schlupp and Stearman have gone on to have careers above the Championship. Liam Moore can still make it.

 

Our production line have been abysmal.

Agreed.

 

Suppose it looks a little more promising with the likes of Elder (pre injury doing well at Brentford), Chilwell, Barnes, Choudhury (Already doing well at Champ level) but fully agree it should be much better!

It's a very disappointing list and questions need asking of it to be honest. It's a decent sized city in a one-club county. We should be capable of producing better than that.

Premier League player and Ivorian international Max Gradel would say he's had a pretty good career so far

the club seem to champion what they win but the academy isn't there to win things its there to produce players for us to either use ourselves or sell to others

Precisely. I'd happily finish bottom of the league even if we got one quality player through the system rather than nothing.

[Fox in the North]

Dodds may not have "made it" but he's carved out a good career in league 1 and 2.

Thats all well and good, but for a designated Category 1 Academy you'd think we'd be doing much better.

[GaelicFox]

Given our central location and ease to reach its shocking how crap our underage recruitment has been , not sure why we even bother with an underage set up

we've not always been Category 1 though? Think it only went up when we got promoted to Premier League few seasons ago.
