Amazing.

So is that some kind of official status? how does that work in practise?

I was thinking it might be something like a Wellington United/Phoenix situation where there is a real physical link or something like those sides like Barcelona B that play under another name. I don't know really, might try a google..... 

EDIT: This link doesn't explain it but might shine some light

Article about him on this CF Gava website:

CF Gava's relationship with Espanyol, the second biggest club in Barcelona,  is highlighted by the many friendlies they play against Espanyol's reserve / youth team "Espanyol B".

Most recently on July 29 Gava played Espanyol B in a pre-season friendly. Two of the Espanyol B players had been signed from Gava's youth team, EF Gava.

Gava lost 4-0. Report:

Gava's first match of the season last weekend away was abandoned due to floodlight failure.

Hobbs was not in the squad but was watching.
