Congrats to him, impressed me in the Youth Cup game against the Skates.

Hope he progresses well, through the academy, as isn't he "Jonno quick"?

A great debut for Josh in Englands U17 game against Holland. England winning 2-0 with Josh scoring 1 and setting up the 2.
Yes he's very quick, but still needs some building up.

Josh Sims is the most gifted young player I have seen for many years. If he keeps making progress he could be even better than Bale. - view external link (http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/02/26/sp-southampton-and-spurs-young-stars-shine-as-england-beat-holla/)
