Thats what surprised me when I checked his profile, no England honours even at schoolboy level. Better hope he doesnt opt to play for USA!

Jack Marriott is a promising player despite a relatively quiet 16/17 season for Luton. He was their 15/16 player and young player of the season. The 22-year-old has a total career record of 46 goals in 95 starts. Decent pace, good movement, plays on the shoulder and can score off both feet. Luton have Danny Hylton, Isaac Vassell and now potentially James Collins, so might be willing to do business.

Could be Virgo MK2, what happened to wanting young hungry players on the way up rather than players on the way down looking for their final contract? 

If Lumley aint gonna come back this would be a good (if not better) alternative;

Definitely. He's in my original post. Played for England U19/U20/U21. Impressed at both Luton and Southend last season, keeping 12 clean sheets.

21-year-old Cameron King could be worth a trial this summer. He's a product of the Norwich City academy and helped them win the 12/13 FA Youth Cup beating Chelsea in the final. He made his first team debut in the League Cup against Shrewsbury during 2014. He was part of the Scotland U18s squad and has also played 2 games, scoring 1 goal, for the Scotland U21 side. King was released by Norwich during June 2016, this was early as Cameron had been suffering from migraines whilst playing. After receiving medical advice he was ready to get back out on the pitch, starting at step five of the non-league pyramid joining his hometown side Thetford Town during August 2016. Thetford boss Danny White said “He’s seen a specialist to get help but he’s a lad with a lot of potential, it’s just a matter of time before he goes on to play at a higher level. But in the meantime it’s a massive coup for us as a club, hopefully it benefits us and hopefully him if he plays regularly, gets fitter and impresses." King finished the 16/17 season with 17 goals and numerous assists.





Priestley Griffiths is also definitely a player worth taking on trial to have a closer look at. He's a 20-year-old former Middlesbrough Academy player and six cap England U17 international currently playing for Bishop Auckland. He scored 7 goals and created about 10 assists for them last season and impressed. He can play as a holding or attacking central midfielder and also as a right back.

A couple of strikers worth trialling this summer are 22-year-old Craig Hutchinson at Billingham Town and 18-year-old Kyle Patton at Whitby Town. Hutchinson scored 59 Goals during 16/17, an impressive number at any level, and attracted scouts from above. Patton has scored 20 goals from 29 starts for both Whitby Town and his previous club Durham City and could be worth looking at in pre-season.

Christian Walton lined up for League One loan by Albion

Andy Naylor

ALBION will loan Christian Walton back out to League One – once they sign another goalkeeper and he signs a new deal.

Wigan, Portsmouth and Peterborough are all interested in borrowing the Cornish giant.

Walton, 21, is about to enter the final year of his contract.

Albion rate the 6ft 4in shot-stopper highly and want to continue his education by building up more first team experience, rather than limiting him to a diet of development football and inactivity.

The Seagulls plan to sign a third senior goalkeeper for the Premier League following the departure of last season’s No.1 David Stockdale to Birmingham and the club record capture of Australian international Maty Ryan from Valencia.

Finn Niki Maenpaa, Stockdale’s understudy for the past two seasons, has agreed a new deal and is expected to soon put pen to paper.

Walton has accumulated 50 senior appearances in loan spells two seasons ago with Bury and his first club Plymouth Argyle, then last season at Luton Town and Southend United.

He also played four games for Albion three seasons ago, three of them during the ill-fated reign of Sami Hyypia and one at the end of the campaign under current managerChris Hughton.

Hughton told The Argus: “The interest we’ve had has been League One. I’d expect him to go there.

“He is going into his last year. We are aware of that and we are keen on him signing a new deal. We want him to stay.”

Perhaps most clubs at Championship level already have a first choice and the only way Walton will get game time/experience is by playing regularly in League One?

The Shamrock Rovers 22-year-old midfielder Brandon Miele is worth a closer look. The Ireland U19/U21 cap has impressed in the League of Ireland scoring 25 goals in 79 appearances and was named the 2015 PFAI Young Player of the Year. The former Newcastle United youth can play on the left, right or through the centre.
