Local lad Ashley Smith-Brown determined to make it at Man City

Ashley Smith-Brown hopes he can make it at Manchester City.

The England youth fullback has been with City since he was nine years of age.

"This is my seventh year at City and it still feels amazing to pull on the shirt, even after all this time," the now-16 year old told City's website.

"When I was in the under 8s, they took us into a room and gave us all a yellow piece of paper and said 'Congratulations, you're all signed to City for the next two years' - it was overwhelming."
