Sheffield Wednesday Owls are gearing up for the 2007/08 FA Premier Academy League. The league represents the top level of youth football in England featuring teams from the Premiership and Football League clubs.
FC Victoria product, Reid Fraser has lit up the score sheet in the Owls first two pre-season matches on tour in Northern Island. He has come on as a second half substitute in both games scoring goals versus Cliftonville on Tuesday in a 2-0 victory and then scoring the tying marker earlier today versus Linfield, 2-2.
Academy director and coach, Sean McAuley was delighted with the performance of his second half substitutes in todays game. "It was a good game and we played an excellent second half. We looked fit and strong and did well to fight back, we'd have probably won 3-2 had it gone on another five minutes."
Fraser, the 6'5" target player with skill, signed an Academy contract with Sheffield Wednesday through their academy director, Sean McAuley a little over a year ago. The seventeen year old Oak Bay High student is fired up with ambitions to join the senior team in the Championship League one day.
