Carshalton Athletic youngster Ethan Kaiser made six giant
steps up the football pyramid to sign for Queens Park Rangers today for an undisclosed
compensation fee. Ethan, a talented defensive midfielder is a product of the Robins
development system and hopes to follow in the footsteps of ex-robins like Jed
Wallace who has become a favourite at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Club chairman, Paul Dipre, who brokered the deal commented “Like
many in our youth, academy and first team, Ethan has more than half a chance to
make it in the professional game. I would like to thank QPR who have been a
pleasure to work with.” He added “We are a club who wants to see youngsters achieve
their potential and we want to secure the best possible move in every case.
Mikel Miller and Ricky Korboa are also attracting a lot of interest from pro
clubs and I believe that they won’t be the only ones to move on before the
start of next season.”
The Carshalton Athletic development system has set the standard
for bringing players through to first team football. More than half of the current
1st team starting eleven have come through the ranks, (mainly through the
Carshalton Athletic Academy,) an unprecedented statistic for any league or
non-league club. For more information on the Carshalton Athletic Academy click here
