5 prospects each male and female.

I think Mrs Mils has had wraps on Jack Perniskie. Sounds an exciting prospect.
It's overdue that the Academy prodced a top young striker talent.

Jack Perniskie
Striker – Born 7 January 2008
Okay, here’s the guy you really need to know about. He did make three starts and a substitute appearance during the National League last year and scored a couple goals during Central League so he’s not a complete bolter. However, it’s his mahi at the U17 World Cup and in the younger academy teams where the scale of his potential becomes clear.

Whereas previous centre-forwards like Flowerdew and Supyk (even Ben Waine) had styles build around their speed and movement, Perniskie’s power is his fundamental attribute. Really solid build, strong and assertive... but here’s the thing: his touch is also golden. That means he’s got an excellent hold-up game already and if he can get the goals flowing as he steps into the U20s more regularly then the Nix will have a very serious player on their hands. You can see a bit more of his overall game in this video (from their end of year U17s tour to Melbourne a few months ago) where he’s wearing the #65 jersey. Expect to see a whole lot more of Jack Perniskie for the Reserves this year.

Probably won't see him turn out for us either, he's over in the UK at the moment. Haven't been able to track down where to exactly, but I'm working on it.

Also, Luke Flowerdew has left the WeeNix setup and signed for Auckland United.
