• The player may not be notable but being a member of a professional football club is definately an assertation of importance/significance. Also there are likely hundreds of articles on athletes aged 18 and under who easily meet all requirements for inclusion (for example I'm guessing Michelle Wie born 1989 has had an article for a lot longer tha a year).

• Hmm, it doesn't really assert notability either. Maybe it's apparent for Brits, but I live in the US. I have no idea what a "professional football club" is and why a teenager would be in one. The article doesn't quite assert that he's in a professional football club either, it just says he's in Gretna. This is probably just a matter of bad article writing, or maybe because I'm horrible at sports. In any case, since it seems that (for some people) this article does, in fact, assert notability, I'll retract my speedy request (not that it changes the outcome anyway.)
