Welsh football players. - Young guns

"Ryan is a young lad who is a central midfield player and a good passer of the ball. He has caught my eye on a number of occasions. We will be able to bring him to the club which would be a good experience for him". Terry Brown. Aldershot manager.

Lloyd Evans (Cardiff - defender) Got a goal as the Cardiff U18 team produced a miraculous come back to beat Ipswich 4-2 after being 2-0 down at half time. Evans a Welsh speaking central defender got his of his sides four second half goals in a 45 minute performance which will have pleased the watching coaches.

Callum Hart (Bournemouth - defender) Will be out for the next two weeks after pulling his hamstring in the 1-0 win over Yeovil. I am sure after the U21 international against Northern Ireland that manager Brian Flynn will be keen to get his experienced older players such as Hart and David Edwards (Shrewsbury - midfielder) back fighting fit for the play off against Estonia in May.

Lloyd James (Southampton - midfielder) Although on the losing side in the FA Youth Cup tie with Liverpool, was praised for a captain's performance. All write ups note that U21 cap James was a constant driving force in midfield as he put in the meaty tackles and linked up play with some excellent link up play and passing. He also showed that he has a few strings to his bow with an impressive showing at the heart of the defence as the reserves beat Coventry 2-0 on Wednesday night.

David Jones (Man Utd/NEC Nijmegen) Has impressed the staff so much that they are keen for the talented midfielder to stay on at the club for another season. Whether Sir Alex will oblige is another matter, but the club are interested in taking more Utd players on loan next season.

Mark Jones (Cardiff - striker) Got a hat trick as the U17 standby hit man ran riot as the young Bluebirds thrashed Afan Lido 6-0 in the FAW Youth Cup. He was joined on the score sheet by Kyle Bassett (striker) and Scott McCoubrey (midfielder).

Michael Pearson (Oldham - defender) Played for the reserves this week as the Latics took on Huddersfield Town at the Galpharm Stadium. The Bangor born defender was introduced after an early injury in the 25th minute and put himself about as the Latics cruised to a 2-0 win.

Jamie Price (Birmingham - midfielder) Got 90 minutes for the reserves against Bolton this week as he looks to progress at St Andrews. The Wales U19 international will look to get a run of games under his belt now as he builds for next season and a shot at breaking into the Wales U21 side.

Tom Sparey (Caersws - defender) Will spend the rest of this season with League of Wales side Caersws after being released by Shrewsbury. He follows a well trodden path to the mid Wales side, who have former Gay Meadow first teamers Ross Stephens and Chris Venables in their side already.

Brian Stock (Preston - midfielder) Scored his sides first goal as the Lillywhites beat Bolton 4-1 to advance to the final of the Lancashire Senior Cup. The former Wales U21 midfielder scored with a sweetly struck free kick after 15 minutes to give his side a lead they would not relinquish and they will now have to wait and see whether they face Bury or Oldham in the final.

Jamie Tolley (Shrewsbury - midfielder) Could well be on his way from Gay Meadow in the summer as the club await his decision on a contract offer. It seems that the Wales U21 is in the same situation as Luke Rodgers last year, because with him being under 24 and the club having offered him a deal, they are entitled to compensation.

Ben Vangucci (Rotherham - defender) Was in reserve team action once again for The Millers this week in a pulsating 5-3 thriller against Tranmere. The central defender who was born in Hanover, Germany but qualifies through a mother from Wrexham played the full 90 minutes as Rotherham edged Tranmere.

Owain Warlow (Lincoln - midfielder) Has accepted a deal from the club to become a professional with the Red Imps.

Dale Williams (Yeovil - striker) Scored another two goals last weekend as the Yeovil U18 team won 3-1 away to Swindon. The brace takes his tally to 11 goals in the last 11 games, and he also picked up the Man of the Match award. Dale has also followed in the footsteps of Rhys Powell (Bolton - defender) after travelling to Gay Meadow for a trial with the border town outfit. And it was to be a great trial as well, with the Wales U19 striker bagging himself a goal with a glancing header to take Shrewsbury through to the Pontins League Cup Final and he will now wait to see whether manager Gray Peters will ask him to stay for a months loan. The Shrewsbury bench contained Wales U17 squad member (Shane Sutton - defender) but interestingly the Hull side that they defeated did not contain Russell Fry (Hull - midfielder). "Dale did alright but is actually a left winger but likes to play up front as well. He did alright and maybe next week if we can have him back he can play on the left wing." Gary Peters, Shrewsbury manager.

Gareth Williams (Colchester/Blackpool - striker) Got off to a perfect start for his new club with a goal on debut after coming on as a second half sub. The Barry born striker struck the only goal of the game to claim all three points for his new side. He will spend the rest of the season on loan at Bloomfield Road.

Owain Fon Williams (Crewe - goalkeeper) Put in some fine saves to keep the Forest U18 strikers at bay as the Railwaymen earned a draw last weekend. Williams and U19 international Christopher Flynn (midfielder) who was recalled after missing the last game, got through 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw.

Karl Yelland (QPR - defender) Scored his first goal for years, and that's his own words last Saturday as the Rangers U18 beat Rushden and Diamonds 2-1 to edge to second spot in the league. The former Wales U16 international scored with a 20 yard free kick that deceived the goalkeeper.
