Snip: Roxbury sophomore Dylan Castanheira (Stoke City) and midfielder Vinny Marna of Montgomery (Swansea City) also traveled abroad to train. Castanheira has been invited back later this month, and may receive a professional contract from the EPL team. http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/...r got soccer education over summer vacation The 15-year-old goalkeeper from Landing trained with Stoke City in the English Premier League for a week in August. And the 6-foot-2 Castanheira made such an impression he's already been invited back. All this before he even started his sophomore year at Roxbury High School. ... Castanheira has been invited to return for two weeks in October. Stoke City is sending him training gear, so he can wear it on the flight back to England. Brown believes Castanheira will be offered a two-year youth contract after that visit, if he is able to obtain a Portuguese passport and European Union work visa. Both Luis and Maria Castanheira, Dylan's parents, were born in Portugal, and his grandparents still live there. http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/...oalie-trains-with-English-Premier-League-team
Another promising young GK. Is there any way we can trade a few of these to another country for some promising young strikers?
my is always "is he among our best? or do we have better ones who just aren't fortunate enough to get a euro passport?"
Really. Everytime I open one of these threads about a new, potential yank abroad and I see "goalkeeper" I'm a bit disappointed.
Here he is listed with the first-year scholars: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/AcademyInformation/0,,10327~393830,00.html Also, looks like he's a '95.
According to his Tweets he had his 1st match with the U21 squad in a 5-1 victory. http://twitter.com/dcastanheira30/status/268106220664131585
