Calling Royston's U23s 'semi pros' is stretching the description a bit! Well they will get a match fee if they turn out for Royston first 11 and as it's certain that some of them do they are literally "semi-pro"

Calling Royston's U23s 'semi pros' is stretching the description a bit! Step 6 (10th tier) as of this season, so whilst on the lowest rung they are in the Non-League Pyramid & by definition Semi-Pro.

I presume this means he is officially retired from playing?

Blaine Hudson part of the TNS squad standing on the brink of making history as they lead Lithuanian side Panavezys 3-0 on aggregate going into Thursdays home leg in the Conference League. Could be Wales first side ever into the group states of a European competition. Blaine was an unused sub last week. Sorry but having been a bit involved in the game at Barry Town United and being a bit passionate about Welsh football...TNS are not Welsh and no one in Wales is proud of them. Harris (not that one) is killing the Welsh game and between him and the two muppets at Wrexham good old famous Welsh clubs with history and pedigree are going out of business. TNS crowds are a joke. In their club house they have a kiddies play area - soft play thing. They count the families in there in the match day attendance. The two original clubs in the English town they play in have gone out of business. Welsh football will die without something drastic. They are looking at summer seasons instead. On a brighter note if you are ever in Barry a trip to Jenner is highly recommended.

I have a mate who is the PA announcer for TNS, there is quite the sense of excitement around those parts at the moment, albeit they have benefitted from playing in and getting beaten in the Champions League, Europa League and have now tumbled down to be competitive in the UEFA Conference. It's staggering to think that tomorrow will be their 10th competitive match already this season, only one of them in the Welsh League! Blaine seems to be pretty much a bench warmer this season though.

I know, I can accept the first team being called 'semi pro', but the U23s are most likely of a level (or 2) below the first team, only getting a run out when the first team squad is short. They will be on minimal money.

With only a year left on his current deal they may be tempted to sell if he won't sign a new deal.

And he may well be tempted to join his former manager. Seems like it'd be a good move for him with a manager who likes him.
