Barnsley Football Club have struck up a partnership with Michigan side Flint Steelers which could see some top American youngsters coming to Oakwell.
New Academy manager Simon Davey was in the States this week setting up the deal.
Davey told www.barnsleyfc.co.uk:
"I went out to Michigan and set up what could be a very mutually beneficial association with Flint Steelers. While I was over there I took five sessions for coaches, parents and their elite youngsters mirroring three-days in the Barnsley Academy.
"We will send members of staff over to the United States next year to run soccer camps for elite youngsters aged between eleven and 18 from all over the Michigan area. The year after we will have a select group of youngsters come over to spend time in the Academy.
"It is a good move for the club and spreads the name and reputation of Barnsley FC throughout Michigan. We are branching out and looking for the best players from throughout the United Kingdom and United States".
So maybe we could unearth the next Freddy Adu....
