neutral  Dr. Andrew Frankland: A reserve-team player is not necessarily from the "cantera". He could have been signed from another club.
2 hrs
  -> You are correct, Dr Frankland

agree  James Calder: Strictly speaking "cantera" refers to a club's pool of homegrown players but from the context it's obvious the players come from the "filial" or "reserve team", which usually contains homegrown players and players signed from other clubs.

neutral  James Calder: You're right but "canterano" is a loosely used term in Spain and often refers to players from the "filial" or reserve team e.g. Real Madrid Castilla, Barcelona B, etc.
