http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club...spects:-u18-mnt-defender-joins-villa_aid39546 U.S. U18 Men’s National Team defender Callum Stretch has a new home. The 16-year-old, who has dual citizenship with the U.S. and the United Kingdom, inked a two-year contract with Aston Villa last month. “When I first went over to the UK I played with Tottenham Hotspurs U15 team. There I had a week trial and played against Ipswich,” Stretch told TopDrawerSoccer when asked how he ended up at Aston Villa. “I felt that I did well and the coaching staff seemed to agree by inviting me back. When I returned back to LA to figure out what would be the best plan moving forward, it was during that period that some of the coaching staff had left Spurs and moved on to Villa. That's why when I was ready to return back to England, I was asked to go there for trials.”
His new AVFC profile claims he is the youngest American to sign with an English club. https://www.avfc.co.uk/players/c/s/callum stretch
He's not playing, at all. Listed at the club with the U-18's, but hasn't even made the bench yet this season. Last season he played in two games. Maybe he's injured?
He made his first appearance of the season yesterday. http://us.soccerway.com/matches/201...demy/aston-villa-fc-under-18-academy/2558588/

He's now at IU. He tells a bit of his story here: In January, Stretch entered his name into the transfer portal, and within days, nearly 30 schools reached out to the coveted transfer — including IU. “The best form of knowing is playing against someone,” IU head coach Todd Yeagley said. “And he, after playing against us and watching our team, he said this really fits the way he likes to play and the DNA of our team.” All it took was a single official visit to Bloomington and an understanding of the elite defenders such as Jack Maher and Grant Lillard that have passed through IU’s historic program, for Stretch to choose the Hoosiers. By mid-March, his transfer papers were filed and his name etched in as Maher’s successor at IU. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2020/04/into-the-deep-end-callum-stretchs-journey-to-iu-mens-soccer
