Im sure the club have previously stated that Harper is initially a DS signing with the expectation he will push for first team THIS season.
Harper himself said by xmas I believe.
You think ?
I'd suggest most cat 1 + 2 acadamies sign players dubbed "the next big thing" every year.
I'd be more excited if the kid was 15 but that said its well worth a punt. At 19 years old if hes decent then he will be pushing the first team very quickly. If not then it was worth the risk...
Could be OK. Still a pretty long shot will make it though. Think a few are getting carried away a bit.
I would hope this isn't a first team signing as far to big a risk for what we need.
One for the future - quite possibly
