4 of our academy players received their first pro contracts today, the 4 being Todd Kane, Archange Nkumu, Amin Affane and Jamal Blackman. Good luck lads.

Great news, I'm a big fan of Todd Kane. He's been excellent whenever I've seen him.

Here's hoping that at least one of them makes the grade. Good luck lads.

What positions are they?

Stuck here in the colonies means I don't get much exposure here to our kids (oh dear, that sounds terrible)

What positions are they?

Todd Kane's a right back and I agree with Eggy that he has looked quite promising(and he scores some good goals as well). Jamal Blackman is a keeper, but I'm not sure about the other two.

Here's the link if you want to know more.

Remember Jamal Blackman' debut for the ressies, our keeper got injured in the warm up so he had to step up. Conceded in about the first minute - shocking defending and nothing he could do about the goal, then he went on to play a blinder.

Along with what some of the others have said Blackman and Kane are the two I've seen most of and so would have the most hope for at this stage but good luck to the four let's hope they progress well.

Yep, good luck to all four. Must admit, Kane & Blackman are the two I'm aware of but let's hope we have a Gem amongst them.

No doubt Hamburg will be tracking their progress.
