He's welsh isn't he? does that count as home grown? I recall there being issues with Davies or am I misremembering?

Welsh = HG in EPL / Not in Europe.

Though if BJ is 3yrs club trained in England then I think he's OK for both........

(Davies & Rodon both came through at Swansea so technically don't count as raised in England under UEFA rules.)

Yeah I think the issue with Davies in Europe was that he came up through Swansea, whereas Johnson has been at Forest his whole career.

Johnson is HG for any competition, PL or UEFA, due to being club trained by Forest. As mentioned, nationality doesn’t play a factor at all in these distinctions.
 
Weird. That's twice in two days that I've posted almost the same thing as someone else at the same time as them.

I reckon this is one of those moments all the guys on 10k+ posts have been through. A red pill or blue pill moment. Going to have a lie down.

Johnson has always played in EFL for clubs affiliated to The FA, despite being of Welsh nationality.

Davies trained with Swansea a club affiliated to The FA of Wales - but luckily a rule change meant its now clubs affiliated to either The FA or The FA of Wales.

So both now meet the HG rule (at least for PL, slightly unsure about UEFA)
