To be fair I've not noticed much difference weather wise, and the countryside is lovely too!
If Elgin are at home when we go next, we'll take a game in and check up on Freddy!Idlebantam, elleb and Onside like this. -
Its a bold move for an 18 year old.
Long way from home. Good look to the lad, lets hope he does well and returns a better player, or finds a move to a bigger club.Bronco, JonButterfield and Bantam-in-Greece like this. -
Have family from the Highlands/Moray area. Going up in mid May, will briefly call in at Elgin, but the season will have ended.
A good 400 mile drive.
Elgin is a very pleasant town, Findhorn and the coast is a really nice place.The Original EB, Bantam-in-Greece and bryan groom like this. -

This is an interesting article with an interview with their manager. He confirms that Jefferys had a move to Brentford B fall through last year due to failing a medical. The reason he's gone for him is that they've filled their domestic loan quota but they can have 2 international loans which Freddy qualifies as. He'll join up with the team next week so won't play at the weekend.

The snow and the minus temperatures have been particularly harsh.
She’s going up to see him in March.
Unfortunately she’s not a football fan so there will be no trips to Elgin City for either of them.Bantam-in-Greece likes this. -
There has to be more to it than just a loan till the end of the season.I cannot believe that a relatively small club,no offence, so far north,would be looking for players in England,let alone Bradford.I cant help but think some bigger Scottish club will be keeping a close eye on him.Good luck to the lad,it should do his personal development no harm at all to be in such a different environment.

Tourist come from all over the world (mainly Yanks and Canadians) for the scenery and lots for the golf.Bantam-in-Greece likes this. -
It's an odd one because Elgin are part time and presumably he was training full time with City. Not like he could train with City and just go through for the games with an 8 hour road trip every time. Borough Briggs will be a bit of a culture shock for him compared to VP. It's not as cold up here as people think, particularly in Moray.

I think it shows a certain maturity for that age.
Not scared to go to a club 300/350 miles away from home.
Can’t just pop home to mum if he has a poor game.
Different levels but Sancho (I know) and Bellingham going abroad at a very young age shows they are not scared of putting themselves out of their comfort zone.andyc likes this. -
