The Yorkshire-born striker may look like an angular target man but he has a neat touch and is clearly learning the tools of the trade at Carrington.

After rising through the ranks, his goalscoring prowess at Under-16 level ensured the step up to the Under-18 squad was ensured and he is continuing to progress under Paul McGuinness and his coaching staff.

Capable of leading the line and ruffling defenders' feathers, he will look to force himself into McGuinness' plans on a regular basis.
