That’s what I said half an hour before this thread.

I suppose you got it confirmed by our club before you posted it anywhere and wrote an article

Not the signing I was hoping for.

Is he related to Stocksbridge Park Steels ?

Great name

Wow what a name!

It was on York City official site, so pretty certain it was correct

Whatever happened to BeeholeClaret's Monday night quizzes? He could have had a question on this category:

Vinnie Steels
Kenny Irons
Lucy Bronze
David Silva
The Tin Man

Vinnie Steels... testicles

Now this ones done the rest of our targets will sign .

New signings are like buses.

Vinnie Steels into Turf Moor.


Possibly?

I suspect he won’t start at Southampton murger

I’d expect him to go into the youth team initially.

How many of these non league or even league youngsters have we signed and released in the last 6 years. I can think of Green, Ginneely, Limb,Flowers but there must be more and I wonder what the Club consider a good return on a player making a good transfer fee or better still getting into the first team, 1 in 10, 20, 30?

Headline:- York wave TaTa to Steels!

There is talented youngsters in the non-leagues,Vardy,Austin,Andre Gray all learned their trade by working up the levels,i guess the club see this as a low-risk investment,and if one pays off by either breaking into the first team,unlikely at the moment admittedly or even by selling them on to a Championship or League 1 clubs,it is worth the gamble.

Nice to see the club recruiting at all levels.

Let's all think back to that famous night back in York in 1992 - we were playing York on parity back then.

Look at where the two clubs are now.

Worth thinking about.

I often reflect on our revival, and the number of clubs we have risen above to get where we are today. In 1987 we had no right to be able to climb our way back, we were a small town. no big backer, with many other bigger towns and cities in a better place than us on the pitch as well as being more prosperous places.

Incredible.

They will have a value. Even if its just for training to ensure we have enough players for full scale sessions. Or to tick certain boxes to meet certain academy status / standards.

Just one or two succeed though and we are laughing.

We actually got a fee (albeit a small one) for Flowers and one or two others. But that doesn't matter, it only needs one or two to make it and we are quids in.

True or false, Vinnie Steels?

The Sun

Burnley's Steels future development set to give club a big helping hand to finish off disable facilities.

It sounds like we could have hit gold with McNeil and DUNNE and there is O'Neill and Ageyi who seem to be capable of playing in the FL if not with us

Not sure if he's a footy player or a pornstar.....

Or both?!

McNeil is only 18 but has had a year with the u23s and looked good. He's been moved around a bit positionally having started on the wing but he certainly has something so let's hope he progresses from here. Dunne I've hardly seen but I was impressed with what I saw a couple of years ago in a few games. O'Neill & Agyei probably both need to go out on loan again.

Signed!!

York Manager not happy about some of the handling of the deal...
