On Alistair Clarke’s new Head of Emerging Talent role, having found the job description it seems the purpose is to find u21 players who could play in our first team.
Role Description
To work collaboratively with Academy and 1st Team Talent ID and Recruitment staff to identify, recommend and recruit talented young players capable of playing in CAFC’s 1st Team.
Key Responsibilities
Lead on all emerging talent recruitment strategies and processes ensuring all players are profiled, identified, scouted both live and via video and reported on
Identify, recommend and recruit high performing U17 – U20 players capable of playing in CAFC’s 1st Team
Lead on our traditional and non-traditional recruitment sources throughout these age groups
Liaise closely with Academy Recruitment Manager and PDP Lead Phase Coaches to ensure trialists are inducted professionally and in a timely manner, with relevant documentation completed
Collaborate with Managing Director, Academy Manager and relevant staff members on potential player decision making process to fit in line with Club’s identified succession planning strategy
Gather market intelligence to ensure targets are in keeping with set annual budgets
Develop and maintain a network of contacts that can support the Talent ID of the emerging talent market as well as potential opportunities for external loans
Ensure you have an excellent understanding of our internal players within the Academy and 1st Team playing squads
Work closely with Professional Development Phase Scouts to ensure they are viewing games accordingly, as stipulated by yourself and the needs of the department.
Work effectively with other departments to ensure the Academy operates in a multi-disciplinary environment and to ensure all goalkeeper’s are fully prepared and have a comprehensive development programme.
Assist with administrative tasks related to the role, including general organisation, recording of games, have an awareness of player individual development plans and ensure all documentation is uploaded to KML
Contribute to the scouting, recruitment and GAP Analysis meetings where appropriate
Attend and contribute to meetings as directed by the Technical Director and Academy Manager
Attend at least five hours of FA in-service training per year.
To undertake CPD organised by the Club, as well as arrange suitable Talent ID specific CPD events
I read that as players released from prem academies we think can come in and have an impact. Maybe a few loans from prem academies or some like Small.

One of the main sources but I would imagine we’ll be looking as widely as we can, that could also include lower/non-league and elsewhere in the UK.
I am just waiting if we do not win, because on the EFL thread I put up about 5 laughing emoji when Millwall missed out on top six. Just hope our Millwall fan on here did not read it 🫣🫣🫣

Was he previously replaced by that ridiculous teenager who used Championship Football when the Rat came?
Poor lad
