So theoretically you could be purchased from abroad as an 18 year old. Loaned out for 3 years but you would still count as a HGP?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] How does the 25 man Squad work then?

Yes, assuming loan spell wasn't abroad.

Towell is not a HGP.

I was under the same impression as you that we could sign a free agent until someone mentioned that we couldn't. It's certainly a rule change for this season as West Ham signed Patrice Evra as a free agent and added him to their squad outside of the window last season.
As already covered elsewhere in this thread Towell doesn't qualify as a HGP, he came through the ranks at Celtic. To be home grown you need to have spent 36 months registered with a club associated with the FA or Welsh FA prior to your 21st Birthday. Towell was 24 when he joined us.

Ben White doesn't need to be named in the squad as he still qualifies as an Under 21. The only HGP we have on our books that isn't part of the current first team squad is Ben Barclay, who could be named to make the squad up to 25 if we wanted to.

The only HGP that MIGHT get named is Ben Barclay (as he is now too old to qualify as an U-21). White still qualifies as an U-21 so won't be in the named squad.
