Anthony Hobbs (CF Gavà | Spain)

Hobbs changing it up in Spain

Gavà plays in Spain's Tercera División (4th tier) but is a feeder club of Espanyol

Amazing.

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

maybe like the Knights many years ago had some kind of relationship with Chelsea?

Shouldnt have a thread

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

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.
