Yeah it's him. Think he turns 19 in October. He was at Stalybridge Celtic on work experience earlier this year and played 80 minutes in total for them in the Northern Premier League. Started out as a striker apparently but he's transitioned into a CB.There's an U18 defender at Salford called Jacob Lara, so it may well be him. That or it's a very dodgy spelling because there's no Lara in the lower age groups as far as I know.

Ogunneye for his long term good needs to be moved from CB. There is no way he makes it in top flight football as a CB with that height.Really good finish from Mather, 1-0. A nice pullback from Nolan.
Quite an even opening half an hour without no real big chances for either team. Wheatley had a decent one early on but missed it totally.
Ogunneye has been strong as a CB, compensates his lack of height nicely with how he plays. Two good saves from Harrison so far.
Cant believe how many goals have been given away this season. Was same on Saturday.49' 1-1
Free kick into the area, Harrison comes out but the Everton player beats him in the air and heads it in.
Then again he’s 17. It’s not like he can’t grow. And you have players like Martínez. Anyway he can also play as a RB.Ogunneye for his long term good needs to be moved from CB. There is no way he makes it in top flight football as a CB with that height.
Nice to see you pop up again with a positive message. Missed you here on Saturday when we won, but I understand you couldn’t make it as you were playing at the same time. Congrats on the title.Cant believe how many goals have been given away this season. Was same on Saturday.
Which is why he should be learning how to play RB in the academy. Martinez is an exception to the rule. That he did it does not mean we should start stockpiling shorties at CB. Most of Ogunleye's games i see him playing CB and RCB not RB. That is a recipe for producing a talented player who is not fit for purpose. Too small to be CB and too technically limited to be RB.Then again he’s 17. It’s not like he can’t grow. And you have players like Martínez. Anyway he can also play as a RB.
Being 17 he has plenty of time to play different positions or even learn a new one. And he has already been learning how to play RB.Which is why he should be learning how to play RB in the academy.

Regarding the boldest, I said it is a recipe for that. If we keep playing him at CB rather than giving him developmental minutes at RB where he has bigger chance of succeeding in senior football, he is going to turn 20 having spent little or no time honing his RB skills and too small to play CB in senior football.Being 17 he has plenty of time to play different positions or even learn a new one.

Can’t think of a player who didn’t make it because our academy staff played him in the wrong position.
He could also be 185cm in a couple of years. Yes Licha is an exception, doesn’t mean there can’t be others.
Regarding the bolded part, might as well give up on him then.
You think there is a chance that the academy coaches have better information about his abilities and best position than you and me?Regarding the boldest, I said it is a recipe for that.

Ogunneye is normally a RB & has been playing CB recently because of injuries.Regarding the boldest, I said it is a recipe for that.

He normally plays RB, he's only played a few games at CB recently because Fredrickson, Jackson, Kingdon, Parker have been injured and Aljofree has been on loan and mainly playing for the u21s recentlyWhich is why he should be learning how to play RB in the academy.
