Only 16 years of age. Another good prospect.
Nice to see the lad given a few minutes at the end of the match.
One to keep an eye on in the future.
Well done Rob!

Exactly this! I also thought the lad did very well when he came on. Seemed to be everywhere shouting for the ball.

i think he is very highly rated and may have made a few appearances but for his injury. Need to sign him to a professional contract as soon as he is 17 before the vultures of the Prem poach another of our players for peanuts.

Huge, huge future ahead of him.

I think he'll probably sign a pro deal, mainly because of the manager's way of giving young players a chance. I know Lawlor wanted to leave last summer before he met BBM, so it does make a difference.

But think we'll be careful with his minutes, he's still very young and sometimes you have to protect the player.

Been watching tank a little while and I said back last summer he's the next one off the conveyor belt , I actually think he has a similar ceiling to lawlor , he's that good I think he will play a part in the first team squad next season rather than be sent out on loan to the lower leagues

Yes I think it is. His father is Polish i think, wants him to stay in Cardiff, but if good enough would like him to play for Poland rather than Wales.

Start him against Mansfield. Both teams got nothing left to play for so perfect opportunity :ayatollah:
