Manchester City have signed Slovak starlet Albert Rusnak, according to MFK Kosice.

The Slovakian outfit have revealed that Rusnak, who has previously spent time on trial at Eastlands, has finalised his move to England.

Kosice have agreed an undisclosed deal with City, who have handed Rusnak a three-year contract.

Rusnak is the latest Kosice player to seal a move abroad following on from the likes of Nemanja Matic - who joined Chelsea last summer.

"I have no doubt in my mind that many other young talents we have in our club will also have their opportunity," said MFK Kosice head of football development Allen Bula.

Looking about the net seems Sven gave him a trial back in 2007.

If he's any good, with a name like Albert, we can turn him English.

This will be one of the numerous youngster we sign and never hear about again no doubt

His age appears to be 'starlet'.

Where did this story come from?-As I understand it he was at the academy for a couple of yesrs.I have seen him play for the under 16s last season.I thought he had been released and gone to Fulham.

Hahaha if we did there extremly fucking late!

Its on the Kosice web site so I assume it must be genuine.It must be nearly two years since I first saw him play for the under 16s.

I googled him and he appears in this thread -

There's an out of date link to Setanta in there which says he was on trial in 2007 like you said.

Looking at the xtratime link, he was named as a City player in April. Heard that today is his 16th birthday, which might explain why he's now 'signed'.

Need info from someone who watches the kids regularly. Pat Rice, perhaps

I saw him play for the under 16s last season and the previous season.It came as a suprise reading the thread title as I heard he wasnt being taken on and was going to Fulham.Sometimes clubs chang etheir minds when making a decision of this type.

Got him on facebook :)

With a name like that he sounds like he should be in Corrie lol.

Think Doug just mentioned him on Training Topic.

No I think the guy I was referring to is somebody else. I watched the under 16's afew times last and like Stockport blue I think Albert was playing and has been for a while. Certainly there was an Albert and there aren't too many of those around.

We all hear about the U18's side of the academy but seeing as you two watch the U16's are there any decent lads that we should keep an eye on for the next few years to see how they progress in that age group and lower?
