He'd put away something like one chance in two while playing for the Under 18s, but, while he didn't exactly struggle when making the step up to the Under 23s, he never scored at a rate to make me think he was going to get a first team chance. I can remember him signing for Colchester at around the same time Tommy O'Sullivan did, but, whereas Tommy played the odd first team match for them, I didn't hear any more of Eli after until the news of him signing for Barry - I agree with Loramski that, while Gethyn Hill would probably not get you the goals Phipps would, he would be the better signing.
