Paul Wotton

2) “He’s a very strong runner; a confident lad, not overconfident; he does the right things and listens. He’s got his feet firmly on the ground.”
Ben Purrington

3) “You could see his natural finishing in the first goal. It’s probably only him that would have scored that. He’s anticipated where the ball might go and that’s why he’s got his goal. It’s a great finish.”
Caolan Lavery

4) “The first goal was a wonder goal, wasn’t it? But I know he can do that. I hope he can score a few goals for us this season, because I know he’s got it in his locker.

“I’ve never seen him score a goal like that, though. I don’t think I’ve seen many players score one like the first one since I’ve been in football.”
Lewis Alessandra

5) “I just think he’s got something. He’s got pace ... I am pleased to get him. He will give us something a little bit different.”
Tope Obadeyi

6) “He’s attack-minded – I wouldn’t have him sitting and holding – and he’ll get in areas and be clever in and around the penalty-box. He’d push on and get forward. He can pass the ball a lot better than he thinks he can and takes care of it – he’s got a great touch.”
Tyler Harvey

7) “He’s got a really good attitude, he’s very mentally strong, and I think he’s got good leadership qualities”

Reuben Reid

9) “(His) performance today is one of the best I’ve seen under my management in the last three or four years.
“I thought he was unbelievable. His all-round game was top-drawer: his passing, running, picking things up, driving into the box, running off the ball.”
Conor Hourihane

10) “I think he can play anywhere. He can play left, right or down the middle.
“He can not be in a game, but just show him that little glimpse and he can do something out of the ordinary. They are the players you need when the game is not going your way.”
Jason Banton
