Will be very interesting to see what the club does with him. I think if he stays at the club for the next 3 seasons and doesn't get loaned out he'll become club trained but if he gets loaned out for even half a season he'll just be association trained
He was born June 26 2005, so (I think) that means he can't become club trained as he would turn 21 within 3 years? Is that right? (the rules always seem so byzantine..)

I think he can become CT because he would turn 21 after the end of his 3rd season so he would have been here for 3 full seasons.

A "club-trained player" is a player who, between the age of 15 (or the start of the season during which he turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the season during which he turns 21), and irrespective of his nationality and age, has been registered with his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons (i.e. a period starting with the first official match of the relevant national championship and ending with the last official match of that relevant national championship) or of 36 months. In the context of this paragraph, the season immediately preceding a player’s 15th birthday may be counted if his birthday is after the last match of the relevant national championship but before or on 30 June (winter championships) or 31 December (summer championships), and the season immediately following his 21st birthday may be counted if his birthday is on or after 1 July (winter championships) or 1 January (summer championships) but before the first match of the relevant national championship.
