England under 20's drew 1-1 with Turkey yesterday which was enough to win the Four Nations trophy, not bad considering the quality of the opposition (Germany, Holland, Turkey). Unfortunaly Chris Long didn't feature in the final even though he scored a good goal in the Holland game.......
England's man of the match and goal scorer was a lad called Kortney Hause, It was a cracking goal apparently, controlled with his chest and volleyed in with his left peg. I'd not heard of him before so did a Google search to see who he played for and what position, turns out he's a centre half and we were linked with signing him in January from Wycome, he ended up signing for Wolves and is now on loan at Gillingham until Jan. Boothroid was singing his praises after his debut v Germany ""Kortney Hause made his debut and he had an exceptional game. It’s a fantastic experience for him and the rest of the boys to play against such high quality opposition."
When he signed for Wolves Kenny Jacket said "He’s 19 in the summer and has a real good stamp about him and is left-footed, so it will be an interesting one now to see how he develops,” he said. “He’s a big lad – his assets are his strength and his pace – and he’s got the physique of a modern day centre-half, and being left-footed gives you balance all of the time."
We prob signed Galloway instead of this lad but another young left sided CB would give us good options for the future with Stonsey and Browning being right sided players, he will have a year left on his deal at Wolves next summer, so could be a viable option.
