Player Valuation: £950k
Can’t help but wonder if this loan might have hurt his development if he’s not playing at all. Didn’t think he was at any risk of breaking into our first team, but he was playing decently well and making progress at home here. Not having a competitive match for 6mo (even in a protected age group) must be a hinderance at this point of his career.Contracted until June 2027, another year . He could develop further in 18 months but my expectations would be he’ll end up in League 2 or League 1 , similar to Jenson Metcalfe and Charlie Whitaker . He’ll earn a better living there than in N Ireland if that’s what he wants , but it shows just how hard itcan be for promising youngsters with talent , it’s difficult to make the Championship let alone the Premier League.
