Reuben Noble-Lazarus came on a sub for Barnsley last night, becoming the youngest ever league footballer at the tender age of 15 years and 45 days.

I'm sure his talent is not in dispute, but I was wondering what exewebbers thought about this. Should someone that young be allowed to play professional football? If Exeter had a prodigy of that age on the books, would you agree with putting him in the team? I also found this comment from Barnsley manager Simon Davey rather concerning.
"We've arranged with his school that we can get him out for two days a week so he can train with us."
