PROD removed by article creator. This young player fails WP:GNG (no significant coverage, nothin beyond routine transfer reports etc.) and WP:NFOOTBALL (he has not yet actually played in a fully-professional league - being on the roster is not enough, you have to actually get on the pitch!).

 * Keep - Think he merits inclusion as a page on Wiki, he is the only remaining member of Hearts first team without a page, he is a full-time footballer, not a part-time youth player. He is a first team goalkeeper that is third in line and 21 years old, so hard for him to get on the pitch as a young player. He has been capped by US National teams at youth level, including during 2015 Concacaf U-17 Championship. Signing a fully professional contract and appearing on a professional game day roster is not relevant enough?
 * Hi - no, the standard is that a player must actually play to be considered notable - being a third-choice keeper is not sufficient I'm afraid! GiantSnowman 16:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for response, disappointing, but can understand. Makes it very difficult for a young keeper to qualify for a page, even if they are first team! WEHarding (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:TOOSOON. Happy to move this to the creator's draftspace if that option is desired. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:53, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - almost all online coverage is routine at this point (I added a 2014 interview from a blog that is interesting but certainly not enough for notability by itself). Agree that it's WP:TOOSOON. Jogurney (talk) 15:11, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete As he has not played a first team match for a team in a professional league he does not meet current notability requirements. If he makes appearances in the future then it would be appropriate for him to have an article. Dunarc (talk) 20:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
