Jake Caskey

[Perkino]

With Jake making his debut for the first team. Did he set any club records for youngest player?

 

[HalfTimeOrange]

Yes he did. Beat the old record by around 250 days I think.

'At only 16 years and 13 days, Jake Caskey became the youngest-ever peacetime player for the Seagulls, beating Simon Fox's record by 225 days.'

[Captain Haddock]

.....and a damn good record-breaking debut it was too!

 

[We're the Stripes]

Wonder how much we can expect to see him involved next season?

"Jake looks a lot older than his age when he has the ball. He has got the quality and he's a good enough standard to be training with us and playing with us, so I look forward to working with them both next season."

That suggests that Jake will be training with the first team squad, but whether he is involved with first team games is another question.

He will probably play a combination of U18, development squad and reserve games with perhaps making the first team bench should he be playing well.

We will probably see players like him getting a run out in the JPT.

Yeah, that's a good shout. Will be interesting to see how Gus treats the JPT.

 

[public school boy]

He'll probably f off to Southampton

 

[Frutos]

I just hope we don't do a Jake Robinson and overhype him to the extent that there's no chance of him actually living up to the billing.

 

[StJimmyL]

Jake is the stepson of Nicky Forster so is no doubt receiving the right whispers in his ear.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

His father is also an ex-pro - Darren Caskey - ex. Spurs and Chelsea I think.
