Pleased to say a quick Google produced a similar question in 2011, which does a lot of the work for me... done a bit of updating, maybe a few dubious division allocations with promotions/relegations - anyone else?

Scott, get on it... People need to know this information

And yet you decide to post it? Weird remit.

 

I actually like to see where our ex-Academy players get to, and see if any of them work hard enough to make a decent living. If A Scots Prem side are interested in him, he can't be doing too badly.

 

yea me too

[Saint_clark]

That list is horribly out dated, would you mind doing a new one please. Thanks.

[sentry]

Have you done it yet? No?, ok, I will report back in an hour to see the new updated list.

[Doctoroncall]

I think you can do a better job than that. We need to know:

 

name, duration at club, year started, position, list of clubs in chronological order with league/division. It would also be interesting to see how many sadly don't make it.

[Minty]

Sparv just moved to FC Midtjylland

Danny Senda retired last year, now coaching at Brentford.

I quite like to see where players end up.

 

I saw Ben Reeves signed a new deal with MK Dons the other day - He's progressing well.

[Badger]

I remember someone posting about this defender or centre half after a pre-season friendly, saying how good he looked, and did anyone know who it was 'cos he looked one for the future etc. The response was Ryan Tafazolli , although clearly did not live up to the billing.

 

So, moral of the story is that like youtube clips, and a 'playing out of your skin world cup series' , pre-season friendlies at Eastleigh may not be the best place to judge a player in the making.

 

Pleased that he's obviously done something okay at Mansfield after leaving Saints though.

[stevegrant]

I saw Ben Reeves signed a new deal with MK Dons the other day - He's progressing well.

Did a clean sweep of all their Player of the Year awards last season.

Good to see - Was a great move for him. They play good stuff and suit his style really well.

I genuinely think he will end up at a higher level then that still. He has got brilliant technique, his range of passing is top class just obviously theres something that the coaches he was playing under at saints saw that made them think he didnt have to make the grade! (possibly size?)

I think he will definitely go up a level. But right now, I think league 1 in a team that plays slick football is perfect for his development.

 

Karl Robinson obviously really rates him: “He’s got all the technical components to play at the top level. The sky is the limit for Reevesy and I’m looking forward to working with him once again.”

me too Minty,

if you see a young lad 's name featured at U16 level ..and then follow his progress we know the heartache there is for those who ..."don't make it ", and we are forced to let go- just at the wrong time.

 

Being released from an Academy (like ours) is no disgrace as we know they get good coaching provides a sound base for everyone of them. Pity those lads at Chelsea who'll never get a look-in.

Breaking into the First team ....at a Premier League club is a notable achievement for anyone, and as we see. it's rare, but not impossible (is it Luke ?)

 

There is a long list of those who have left SFC but still managed a reasonable career in the Football League (on a rough check I counted around 20 last season - mostly L1, L2.)

 

Some players still make a good career, and players like; Mike Williamson and Gary Monk even made it to the Prem. under their own steam, after humbler beginnings.

I'm sure many of them remember their training days with Saints, and perhaps missed out because there were better players in the first team squad .

 

Whichevevr club Ryan plays at next season - it's certainly a name you find hard to forget.

[The9]

Well, that's everyone that was already on that list, everyone Soccerbase lists as a first team squad member since 2011, and a couple of others off the top of my head - but there are more - I haven't considered the likes of Jamie Hatch or any of the reserves/academy from 2011-2013 who DIDN'T make the first team... so away you go...

 

Just added Jamie White, Jeffrey Imudia and Jack Dovey.

 

And all the releases I can find since 2012, though I haven't looked any of this lot up.

Matt Young (Saints released 2014)

Joe Curtis (Saints released 2014)

Jamal Branker (Saints released 2014)

Fraser Colmer (Saints released 2014)

And Eddie Odihambo-Anaclet.

 

That's quite enough of that.

Thanks to SuperSAINT I'll be adding this lot to the list... I have my doubts about Paul Smith's legitimacy for this list, didn't we sign him?

Yeah, Paul Smith came from Brentford didn't he?

 

I guess Folly & Griffit were more signings.... So to was Boyle I think (he was a Mike Wilde type signing)

 

- Adam Pearce should be Alex Pearce (and he was a loan signing)

[Snopper]

Brett Poate?......or have I missed him somewhere in the lists? Think he`s at Havant & Waterlooville.

Ah, thanks, Alex Pearce of Reading, well he can go...

[BotleySaint]

I feel sick.. Leandre Griffit is now 30 years old! How can that be? It was only yesterday he got that one against Newcastle....

[The9]

Just added Brett Poate and also lost a bunch of information about numerous players I'd tracked down due to not saving something, so balls to it.

[Lazlo78]

You absolute fecker, you know I can't resist that kind of thing...

 

As you have found out, that makes two of us...

[stevegrant]

Update:

 

Matt Young has signed for Sheffield Wednesday.

[SuperSAINT]

I guess we should add Andy Robinson as being in limbo (think he left Bolton due to homesickness).

[The Cat]

Scott Bevan was coaching my son earlier at the training academy he runs. He's also Pompey's goalkeeping coach.

[The9]

I never had any intention of keeping this maintained - maybe someone can search for it in 3 years' time and update it then.

Lolz, make me a wiki.

[Grey Crab]

Holder-Spooner is at Basingstoke Town, I think.

[West End Saint]

Baily Cargill in Bournemouths 1st team squad released by Saints at 12 from the same side as Shaw Chambers & Ward-Prowse made league debut on loan to Torquay last season played against Saints in the friendly V Bournemouth

[Snopper]

Dan Seaborne signed for Partick Thistle on a free transfer.

[Ulrich van Gobbel]

Harlee Dean scored a 117th minute equaliser for Brentford to make it 6-6 (yes, six - six!) vs Dagenham & Redbridge last night.

 

Brentford went on to win 4-2 on pens.

[Marino]

Tony Garrod was at Three Bridges last season - Ryman (or Isthmian) League 1 South.

Think he has signed on again this season.

 

He previously played for Eastbourne Borough now managed by Tommy Widdrington.

 

I am a sucker for this sort of info. Far more interesting that reading about Premier prima donnas.

Because this thread will not die, I'd like to add "Billy Sharp to Leeds" to the list.

[sotonist]

Sparv just moved to FC Midtjylland

Danny Senda retired last year, now coaching at Brentford.

 

Won the Danish League with games to spare.

[Mowgli]

And in other news 24 year old Oscar Gobern released by Huddersfield Town. There's one some of us thought was destined for big things!

Corby left Indy Eleven in Jan 2015. He now plays for Forest Green Rovers in the Conference:

The NASL is the league under the MLS. Conference is probably about the same standard.

Jordace Holder-Spooner is currently playing for Marlow FC in The Evo-Stik League Southern Division 1 Central after also being released by Eastleigh and then Basingstoke.

This all depends on whether The9 is ready to pick up the mantle & update.

Darryl Flahavan released by Bournemouth, looking for another club.
