Home Grown and future transfer

[Nite]

Trying to get to grips with home grown status and there seems to be a lot of misinformation:

Loaning players out doesn't seem to stop them gaining home grown at club (player signed in Jan 2017 with a loan back agreement still has a trained at club date three years from the signing date).

However, I have just agreed a transfer for a young player and he doesn't come to the club for ages; it is currently March 2017 and he arrives at the club in Jan 2019. Anyone got experience of this and will it count as a year of his trained at club time, given that he has signed a contract?

He'll be 18 and 2 months then, so would miss the home grown tag if it doesn't...

It won't count unfortunately, which is why you very rarely see Brazilian players home-grown in England, unless they came through an English clubs academy due to a feeder.

He needs to be actually AT the club to count as home-grown FOR the club.

His HG status is tied to his work permit, not his club contract. He has to be playing/working in that country/club.

He's Serbian and was granted a work permit, so it may have started now?

Jan 2019 - it'll start then

Hmmm... it looks weird because he should get "Home Grown" status in that case

 

[thefmcoach]

He has to have actually moved to the club for the process to start

You seem to have missed the important part - he needs to be at the club. When he is at the club, the count will start.
