Your talents are wasted here CT, headline writer for a leading tabloid surely awaits.

Good luck to Oliver. It is good to see him getting this chance because he has made good progress and I have yet to see him have a bad game --perhaps I shouldn't have said that!

I only saw him on YouTube at the Prague tournament but he looked useful.
Good luck to the lad.

Great news!

Excellent news, sounds a very grounded yet driven young man.

It's so pleasing to see one of our young players get a deal like this at 18. He's been with the club since the days when Big Vince & Dobbo were in charge of the youth set up and it could well be, given his location at Skipton, that he was recruited by a member of this message board.

He's done so well and this season, despite kicking off at 17, has virtually been used exclusively in the under-23s.

Let's hope he can step up now and eventually become a first team player of the future.

" Beardie Burnley Boffin breaks Barnfield Bombshell ! " or " Scholes Scoops Skipton Star's Spring Signing " ......

My favourite headline was from the back page of the Evening Telegraph when Rune Vindheim left the club;
Gone With The Vind.

Cracker Conroy Clobbers Cobblers can't be beaten.

Hardly played in the youth team since and same with Dwight McNeil and more recently James Clarke & Scott Wilson.

For the Clarets, perhaps, but my favorite is the back page of the " Scottish Sun ", when Celtic got beat in the Scottish Cup, at home by Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2000..... " Super Cally Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious "

Great news..... well done Ollie.

Had a flashback to the wonderful Bodie and Doyle for a moment

Is he related to Alex Elder?

Is he the first professional on our books to be born in the 21st century?

The lad appears to understand that hard work will be the key to any success.
Go for It.
