- Comment - Points on the sources you have provided:
- 1 - Don't seem to be able to access this, but from the link, it indicates he won a player of the month award in a non-fully professional league. This isn't even a player of the year award, so not sure the extent to which this confers notability.
- 2 - This is comment from the player's manager on his recent transfer. Aside from the fact that the source of the comments is a primary source being directly associated with the player and the club he plays for (and therefore hardly likely to be objective in his comments about him) this is also nothing more than the usual transfer press conference platitudes every player gets on signing for a new club.
- 3 - This does contain some comments from the player himself which could be used to suport GNG in the presence of a number of other interviews / articles, but this article itself is not exclusively about the player but hangs his comments around a wider discussion of Irish League players moving to England and the then forthcoming match between Cambridge and Man U.
- I don't believe this constitutes significant coverage per GNG. Fenix down (talk) 08:04, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
