I'd be really surprised, though happy for him, if he got a chance at 1st team action this season. I rate him pretty highly, but thats only because he works hard and has an engine on him. Has some quick feet when dribbling too and has the ability to pick out a pass.
His performance Vs villa in the youth cup still sticks in my mind. He looked a step up from the likes of Smith in the first team. Runs all day, breaks up play and helps going forward.
