An assumption that I tend to agree with. And yes, we are the more likely to give him a faster route into first team football - But via the dev squad initially I reckon.

Its already been stated he will start in the dev squad, should we sign him of course.

He's playing tonight in his farewell appearance for Cork apparently. He's a dev squad signing, so not an issue. If he was going into the first team squad we would probably insist he doesn't play.
