Charlie Austin has had a metorical rise to fame from Poole Town FC, through Swindon Town to Burnley where he is now attracting attention from the Premier League.
The clubs in question aren't half bad either... Alan Pardews Newcastle United and Paul Lamberts striker light Aston Villa..
Austin, the former bricklayer from the south coast, has a fantastic scoring record at all levels that he's participated. 48 in 42 for Poole, 1 sliced effort at Wembley away from the Championship after a cracking season (31 in 54) with Swindon Town and now 28 goals in 54 appearances for Burnley, its no wonder the young man is in high demand.
Question is, is the top flight a step too far for the lad who was plying his trade on the south coast 5 short years ago?
At the tender age of only 23, Austin will be keen to earn his stripes at the top level and he should be given every chance to do so.
He might even be the new Alan Shearer for England...
