O'Kelly Isley III Posted Wednesday at 10:29 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:29 28 minutes ago, The Moonster said: Aye, I realise he played last night but he's only been signed for our U20s so far. It does seem a bit odd that the lad would move from Petershill U-21's to our U-20'S without some sort of incentive so I'm assuming that there is more to it. Perhaps the phrase 'step-up' is the clue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting nonetheless to have young talent who actually might make the grade coming through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basically part of the amateur set up and play in the amateur Scottish cup etc, I believe they fall under the safa umbrella which means they can’t sign duel contracts. playing u-20s allows them to sign duel contracts and play for the development team and the 1st team which is the whole point in the u-20s set up. maybe someone will be along to correct me but I’m sure this is the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I'm sure many fans will be unaware of the distinction. On the plus side it suggests that the lad has a bit of ambition about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the 19s team. They’re in the amateur setup and play against the senior amateur teams in cup competitions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
