Man City kid James Hardy hoping to prove Oldham wrong

James Hardy is enjoying good progress at Manchester City.

The 18 year-old midfielder was let go by Oldham Athletic before his 16th birthday.

"I was at Oldham from the age of 10, but they didn't give me a scholarship," Hardy told City's website. "So in January 2012 I came on trial at City and then they offered me a scholarship - since then it's been the best."
