FA to review youth development recommendations

The FA are to assess 64 recommendations made in Richard Lewis's review of youth development in England.

Lewis, the executive chairman of the Rugby Football League, looked at a domestic Under 21 league to bridge the gap between youth and first-team football, outlined the problems with a quota system for developing English players and called for compensation rules to be more transparent.

FA chief executive Brian Barwick said: "We will now take the summer to assess his recommendations in more detail."
