Great to see these young players getting into the various England squads, adding further to our proud history as a club

Seems to be a few confused about contracts on here.
He can't sign pro-terms until he turns 17, so can in theory be poached any time from now until his 17th birthday, for whatever is decided by tribunal. Unless he rejects pro-terms and he can go at the end of his first year scholar for tribunal.
If he signs pro terms at 17 then he's ours until that contract runs out or is bought. If that contract runs out and we offer him equal or same on all contract renewals until his 23rd birthday(maybe younger?) And he turns us down and goes elsewhere in england we would be due compensation. If we offered him no contract and released him then we'd get nothing. Regardless of anything that happens in his career any move for a fee we would be due a 'development fee', unless we release him.
Any player signed between 16-18 is viewed as developed by that club also.

How do they decide how much we would be owed if it went to tribunal?

Some arbitrary b***ks, appearances, potential etc etc I think we get more for being a cat 1. It's all about screwing the smallest clubs.

So does Fin qualify for the Redcar / Marske played-for-Boro honours board?

Here’s the best source I can find. If I’m reading it right it’s as shown in these tables plus 20% of any profit if sold on before the age of 23 and 5% of any future fee in the player’s career (or maybe just the first one. It’s not specified).

Cartwright is 17 I believe now, so will he get a new contract?
I was thinking about this as well. Was eligible from 28 Feb to sign a pro contract but we've heard nothing. In comparison, Sonny Finch's was announced on his 17th birthday.
Might be nothing and he has had some injuries but does make you wonder.

We've just given Luke Woolston, who's 19, a 3 year contract, so it might be in the pipework as we're clearly giving out contracts to the youth players right now.

Of course he has to want to sign one with us at the same time

Cartwright has had injuries hasn't he. Curtailed his development, can happen at this age
Yes he has been injured - I got his injury mixed up with Sonny Finch on here the other week. But regardless of this I know that the club are still really excited by his potential.

Will he be one to go on loan or drip fed in the first team, if he does sign?

there are clearly a number of exciting youngsters in the U18 age bracket right now. The fact that a number of those lads have been playing at U21 and doing well and the U18s are still 10th out of 26 sides says a lot.
We are really well stocked in CM by the look of it as well. McCabe above and ofc Woolston signing a new contract + AJ Bridge who has been on the bench. Then in the u18s we have Cartwright, James and Hamelberg who have all been involved or on stand by with England.
