"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..

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)
I also wouldn't bet against the manager being sacked soon.

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

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
