I think that's the first hurdle that's been overcome to a degree. Since the seventies, most players who have joined Trinity have had it at the back of their minds that we are a stepping stone. If they do ok and make a name, so long as the coinage is right Trinity will let them go without any fuss, in fact, they will actively seek a buyer.
That I no longer believe to be the case. I think younger players now believe that Trinity is for keeps if they want it.
A way to go yet but it's an important start.

I think there is still a little way to go on proving that however TJ signing his long term contract at arguably the height of his powers was a great start.
We haven’t produced a player near TJs quality since Ellis, Westwood and Brough who all left all be it for different reasons 2 of which were though financially motivated.
Don’t get me wrong we have and continue to produce some cracking SL players hence why we were granted the Academy license and the system at Trinity definitely works, however we still have to see that one a little bit more special emerge again and be tested by other clubs taking a serious interest.
