In the Chronicle today apparently we've got him on trial. 12 goals already this season with Athersley. Good to see we're still scouring non-league to find potential starlets http://www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/hancocks-superb-rec-form-earns-him-trial-at-oakwell
Think I`ve seen him a lot as a junior playing local kids football as he`s the same age as my lad. If it`s who I think it is he was always a stand out player at that level and it shows that there`s always more than one way to the top. Good luck to the lad!
Great news! Even if nothing comes of it it's great that we are on top of scouting in the local area and building relationships with our non-league teams is great. It's a shame none of them are a couple of tiers higher really then we could send more kids out on loan there and keep them close.
Played with him a few seasons back. Quite surprising as at the time, he wasn't what I would consider a league footballer. Small in stature and a bit of a firebrand. Must have improved massively in the past two years or so. Interesting.
Seen him a few times for the Rec this season. Got a knack of been in the right place at the right time.
