I hadn’t realised, but it turns out Brennan has signed him before, when he was at Billericay.
Looks like he was loaned straight back to Ascot to continue his development, and then Brennan was pushed out of Glenn Tamplin’s revolving door a few months later, so I’m not sure how much he actually played for him. But he’ll obviously be very well aware of him as a player. Whether that makes Brennan more or less likely to sign him I suppose depends on his impression of him from that time.

I also notice that Minhas only signed for Beaconsfield in October 2021, meaning he must’ve scored his 27 goals in about 2/3 of a season. Must’ve been incredibly prolific.
