OLD Bar footballer Boyd Cordner has signed with the Sydney Roosters for the next four years.However, the 16-year-old St Clares High School student hasnt been informed whether hell be required in Sydney in 2009.
Theres a big chance he will still be here next year, Cordners father, Chris said this week.
Hell head to Sydney probably over Christmas for an off-season training program and well probably know more after that.
Cordner has been played in Newcastles junior development program for the past two years and his father admits it was a wrench to leave the club.
Boyd enjoyed it at the Knights, Chris said.
However, the coaching structure at the Roosters was among the lures that enticed him to head to the Tricolours.
At this stage it appears Cordner, a backrower, will play with the Roosters SG Ball (under 18) side. However, it is possible that he will still be able to stay at home and meet commitments with the side, at least for next year.
Earlier this season Cordner represented NSW Combined Catholic Colleges at the Australian Schoolboys Championships in Darwin. His elder brother, Dane, was a member of the NSW Combined High Schools side that took out the tournament.
Boyd is currently playing under 16s for Taree Red Rovers in the Group Three Junior League. Rovers meet Port Breakers in the major semi-final at Port Macquarie tomorrow.
