He's got potential imo but needs bulking up and could be as good as Gale at Quinns if not better.
They did offer him terms to stay on. They just would not give him the opportunity to challenge Burrow in the first team. He was then offered a loan to push himself which he ended up making a balls of.
At the same time all academy players of that age were on part time deals, rather than the full time they were before, and the kid needed first team or move. He was big headed enough to think (I don't blame the lad) that he was good enough for the top, so like a lot of other players he went down a level in order to push himself back up again.
Wakey have signed a good player if his head is right.
