From St Paul's to Elland Road?

Jersey Premier League side, St Paul's, have agreed a deal to be a feeder team for the 3 times Champions of England, Leeds United, academy.

It is hoped that the move will encourage greater interaction between the grass roots and professional game.

Charlie Daze, St Paul's academy director, said: 'I think it's brilliant news for the children of the island.

'I've been scouting for Leeds United so the link is already there.'

Daze cites the example of Graeme Le Saux as proof that talent from the Channel Islands can be successful professionals.

Speaking to BBC Jersey, Daze said: 'Graeme Le Saux did well and is a good ambassador but there's got to be more Graemes around.

'We'll hopefully get the Leeds first team manager over but that's something for the future.'

Could a Jersey youngster be the next big, young talent at Elland Road? Time will tell...
