London XXI strengthens bet in youngsters
Alex Smithies is the second player to be transferred to the new sensation of english football

23-year old Alex Smithies is the second player announced to make part in London XXI's project for the next season. After hiring Marc-André ter Stegen, the Huddersfield-born goalkeeper is the second card played by Stuart Pearce in this phase of building the team's roster.



Smithies was presented this morning at Thames Stadium and referred that it was "surprising to be chosen to make part in this ambitious project". This was a personal choice from the club president, Gary Lineker, who admired the player's exhibitions at Huddersfield Town, during the last season of the NPower Championship and that has been accompanying his carreer since the 2007 Under-17 World Cup.

Smithies was transferred after a bid if about 500 thousand euros, which was promptly accepted by his former club, where he played as a professional since the 2007/08 season.
