A central midfield player, Ross has played a couple of games for the Under-18's towards the tail end of the 2005/06 season and has impressed David Williams before joining as a scholar this summer. He also came on as a substitute for the Reserves in their game at Fulham last season, this coming after Reserves boss Keith Webb saw him in training and decided to take him to Motspur Park. Academy manager Ricky Martin is looking forward to having Ross in the club on a full time basis. "Academy educational officer Danny Laws liaised with Ross' school allowing him time off to travel to Norwich for training, it was here that Keith Webb saw him and decided to take him in the squad to Fulham," said Ricky. "I have been fully aware of Ross through the many reports that filtered back to me and once we knew that he was available there was no hesitation in offering him a scholarship. Although he has not had an Academy upbringing, reports were such that we felt he was the kind of player we are looking for". Q+A with Ross Kelly 1.
