Might be a sign of holding Foord back a bit, and taking a punt on a guy that's also highly rated and might work out. Remember Paulsen didn't make his WeeNix debut until he was 18-and-a-half, being stuck behind Zac Jones and Zac Dean despite being massively rated years prior.
FWIW - I'm unsure if Boon's is a scholarship or academy deal!
