Tim Payne hopeful of being offered a contract at Blackburn:

"Under-17 international Tim Payne is on the verge of signing to play at English Premier League club Blackburn Rovers.

"Under-17 international Tim Payne is on the verge of signing to play at English Premier League club Blackburn Rovers.
Payne is just back from eight weeks of trials at the club and once he obtains a work visa he is hopeful of being offered a contract.
"I can't be contracted as a professional until I turn 18," said Payne, who was a member of the Waitakere United ASB National Youth League team last season. He was also in the Danny Hay-coached Sacred Heart team who won the Lotto National Secondary Schools title for the first time."
The article is from the 5th November so not sure if there's been any advance on things since..
Hmm.... In England you can sign a professional contract when you are 17
No English passport? Good luck to him but a work visa highly unlikely I would say
2 other goals for draper!
And another one for Greg

Danny Hay taking the credit: "�I�ve seen him since he was 12 years old and watched him develop,� Hay says.
�I�m so proud of the player he's become.
Huge call: �I wouldn't bet against him getting game time for Blackburn before the end of the season,� he (Hay) says.
It would be pretty awesome to see him get game time there though. Not many players from this part of the world get that opportunity, let alone at his age.
Just hope his manager isn't sacked between now and then (Musa/Bradford nightmare)
Have you watched Blackburn this season? I wouldn't bet against him getting game time either.
I have and I'm thinking a young kiwi kid probably isn't the answer to their problems. His competition might be a bit sh*t though.
I also wouldn't bet against the manager being sacked soon.

They just got him on a new contract

Indians should stay away from football and stay in the kitchen cooking us yummy Vindaloos.

Safe, the lad may get a run after all. And then join Woodsy in the championship next year.
I didn't think Hay took the credit, although he did help set up the trial if i remember correctly so good on Hay.
From what i have heard and seen of the kid there are pretty big raps on him. What type of contract has he been given, youth, professional??
Imagine having two strikers from NZ in the premiership in a years time potentially playing... there aren't enough tissues in the world for that sort of fantasy to come true.
... and Rojas to go over there and make it 3.

Imagine on..more likely to be Championship...
And Reid when West Ham get promoted...
Still dreaming... but 5 years ago had you offered me 4 / 5 NZ players in the chapionship i would have taken it with open arms.
And all under 25!

Nelson Suburbs and Nayland College (Nelson)
Born in Scotland but immigrated to NZ aged six.
Maybe Nelson's best football export since Ceri Evans (Oxford United, second tier English football for some years in the 80's and 90's)????

Luke Adams, who was trialling at Derby County until a severe ACL injury
sidelined him for six to eight months.
What happened with the kid at Northampton Town - is he still there - they look in trouble.
Michael Built
Still there, yet to play.

Basalaj kid trialing at Rangers for 3 weeks
Greg Draper scored in a 2-1 loss v Neath this morning - TNS are second in the WPL and Draper has 14 goals for the season - second in the Golden Boot chart.
Cam Howieson started in the Burnley youth team that made the quarter finals of the FA youth cup in beating West Brom this morning. First time in over 30 years that Burnley have made the last eight, so well done. Howieson played 70 mins before being subbed in a 2-1 win. Good effort also in that all the other teams have formal "Academies" (I believe).
There's a really good bunch of kids at Turf Moor this year, the club has a strong youth focus through out from Manager down, so indications are that Cam's in a good environment.
Edit: I notice that Tim Payne came on the 74th Minute, a couple of days back, in Blackburn's win over Stoke in the FA Youth cup (also through to last 8).Turfmoore2012-02-09 20:24:02

Rovers & Burnley are on course for a semi final clash, we need to beat Newcastle and your lot need to beat Fulham.
Does anyone know if the Rangers financial crisis has affected Basalaj's hopes of a contract? Or anything about what's happening with his trial for that matter?

Hopefully this means he might be a nix player next season
Birkenhead utd and nz u17s player Bill Tuiloma has been offered a contract at Burnley , this kid will go all the way quality!
Was really impressed with him at the U17 World Cup.
Looked to be a really athletic player with some nice touches and attacking intent.
Was positionally pretty good at RB as well.
Any links for this? (i had heard he was looking at LA Galaxy)
Both Tuiloma and Raniga are listed as LA youth players:
He still holds registration with birkenhead, been at galaxy dont really understand the ins and outs, i know his age has something to do with it, only just turned 17..
i talked to the coach at Birkenhead he said that there are a handfull of clubs after him, i saw him down at napier u19s last year excellent player!

Howieson scores a brace as Burnley beat Fulham 3-1 in the FA Youth Cup Quarter Final
Now play Blackburn Rovers in the Semi- Final
Cam Howieson v Tim Payne
Good to hear Howieson got a couple goals... did not rate him a the u17s at all... hopefuly training full time is turning his apparent potential into actual quality.
