Well, a few of us have been banging on about this youngster for a while on the youth team thread, but i’m absolutely aware it’s a massive step up to the first team. Saying that, it looks like he’s involved pre-season.
He’s got pedigree, bought in from Newcastle and captaining the U23s at 18 years of age. I thought he might be a LB, but he’s grown and he’s bulked out. I now believe he’s a Centre Back who can play left back. Not saying he’s the answer, but suggesting he’s leapfrogged Holgate and Feeney and is under consideration.
The lad plays like every game matters and that’s a major ingredient for me. Let’s not forget he’s playing open age football for the first time and can only learn from playing alongside experienced team mates.
