Bit strange that there's literally zero info on Marley online apart from the other Herald piece a few years back - surely there'd be a bit of chat about for a 15-year-old in line for a pro deal at a club like Man City? I'm not incredibly familiar with the pathways in such huge clubs, and not really sure if players that young are publicised at all, but found it weird there's not a single mention not from the Herald or his family
Out of sight, out of mind. His dad went to the UK to play league and has stayed ever since. Marley born and raised there
Hopefully he feels like a “Kiwi” but reality is he’s a born and raised Brit, and will sound like one for sure.
Seems he’s done well to survive this long in the Academy system. Whether or not the Citizens sign him on the mooted 3 year youth contract could be telling. Sounds like his dad who is high up in the Warrington Wolves league team setup, is definitely trying to keep him grounded so I guess lots of NZ media stories would go against that
Didn’t David Ball go through the youth system at Man City? I imagine that was mostly before they became a super rich outfit
