I don't know the player or what his strengths and weaknesses to give an opinion on him. Its a decent goalscoring record for a team who weren't in the top 6.

windymiller7 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 They have DL down as 1.87 & unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, Wharton definitely looked taller than him to me. Think the 'measured him as a kid' line could well be possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have too many young goalies and need to loan some out, but seems pointless to loan him to the same level again at this early stage of the summer, unless he didn't do very well I suppose, but he was quite highly rated. If he is any good you would think it makes sense to wait for a conference team to potentially sniff and I'm sure if they didn't then another club from that level would still be interested later. Pretty minor in the scheme of things of course, but I'm just not convinced we do a great job of loaning our youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just turned 18 so NPL is OK....its if he starts for them or not....if he gets starts and continues to improve then he will probably get a better loan, or get a chance next pre season.
