I think he's a great utility option to fill in a few different positions. He's young and covers a few different positions and does a reasonable job in all of them making him massively valuable for the club-trained spots in the squad for Europe (once he needs to included in list a from summer 26).

One of our biggest strengths is the amount of players we have that give us some degree of flexibility in how we use them and who we pick around them.

For me he's been one of the big plusses of the season. A home-grown utility player is valuable in more ways than one.

I'm still not sure about him as a right back. He does seem to look more comfortable playing more centrally.

Not a RB for me.  The problem with utility players is they always turn out decent at all positions and not great at any, see Phil Jones.  I'd like to see him get a run at DCM, it's the only way to find out.  We still seem to have this reticence to play our youngsters...or our academy isn't all it's cracked out to be!

Most young players would give anything for a career at the top level as long as Phil Jones had.

Paul Madeley was the first I heard referred to as a "utility player".

A great player he was too, could play anywhere.
