I'm talking about players who were released at 14/15, not 18/19.

Regan Poole was released in June 2014, aged 15, and was playing senior mens football just two months later. He was signed by Man Utd for £100k within a year.

Burns was picked up straight away by a fellow Championship club who he played 50 odd games for.
