Thanks JourneyFan. It's not as high a % as one might expect but good stats hard to find and development is rarely linear anyway; and there will be lots of others too I reckon - Callum McCowatt and Harry Edge at ACFC for example. Would US college rate somewhere between Youth and Handy as a primarily U23 competition?
Regarindg zonknz's "journeyman" argument I agree in principle but still think there's value in having a couple of marquee players in the Handy - players who've played at a significantly higher level who can pass on good experience - Ifill for example. However players over 30 who've NEVER played at a higher level are just blocking a kid's chance - which is one of the reasons why WeeNix exists.
