Discovered this wee nugget while looking at NewsNow ........ seems the search for youth talent is not restricted to the Highlands and has stretched as far as Cornwall.
'Teenager Andy Jones is swapping playing for Liskeard Athletic for a place in a Scottish Premier League team. The 17-year-old secured himself an 18-month contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle after Liskeard manager Dave Leonard contacted a host of clubs to tell them about his talent. Andy spent a week at the top-flight club – currently sitting in fourth place in the division – to convince bosses he was worthy of a professional contract. Mr Leonard, who coached Andy between the ages of ten and 12, said: ‘This is marvellous both for him and the club.’
