| Ex youth team players to come back? 10:00 - Aug 17 with 1651 views | ChampionsofInnsbruck |
We have had a few players who were on the books, sold and then came back over the years, with Richard Keough, Harry Clarke and Nick Hayes being the most recent. I can recall Chris Swailes, Tommy Miller, Aaron Lee Barratt, Macauley Bonne, but were there any others? I see to remember being told we released Matt Holland, but I was sure he was on the books at West Ham and not Ipswich as a youth team player. |  | | |  |

John Wark, sort of. He did play in the first team before he left and came back so might not fit your exact criteria, but he was in the youth team. |  |

No, Holland was never on our books as a kid, West Ham academy drop out. |  |

I thought as much, although he went to Bournemouth where Harry was well connected and was well looked after by West Ham out of the door, rather than dropping out.
Are the players I have recalled been the only ones? | | | |

Scott Loach is one I have missed!
I was more thinking players that never played for the first team in their first stint here, but were in the system. We have had a fair few players have a couple of stints here, Ray Crawford, John Wark, Jason Dozzell, James Scowcroft, Tommy Miller, Richard Wright, Pablo Counago, Kieron Dyer, Jack Colback, Daryl Murphy, Alan Lee, Jonny Williams, Darren Ambrose, Jordan Graham, Johnathan Walters and now Massimo Luongo - when thinking about it, we have had a lot of players come back. I wonder how that compares with other clubs. | | | |

George Hirst came on loan last season, went back to Leicester and is now back again. Does that count? |  |

Yes and no? The spell has been continuous really, bit like when we signed Didz, you wouldn't count that as 2 spells because he started on loan. Celina is another player to have 2 spells, although not our product. | | | |

Could be. I don't think Holland was one of them though, was he? | |

Yeah, I understood your conditions, which is wy I added 'sort of'. He did play in the yoofs, but then moved up to the grown ups befoe moving on. So only tenuously meets your conditions. | |

Is there any reason for the dig? If you don't find the topic interesting you do not need to comment, lets be honest. | | | |

It certainly wasn't a dig at you, just playing, as someone added one that you'd originally mentioned on your opening post, so was just adding a bit of repetition, so was just adding a bit of repetition.
I did comment with George Hirst, as it wasn't a definite he would be back when he went back to Leicester at the end of his loan, it wasn't a 'loan with a view to being permanent', so I thought he would count. | |
