Scouting Report & Player Insights

Left-sided defender comfortable operating as a progressive full-back or covering centrally when required. Combines energetic forward forays and accurate delivery with a composed on-the-ball presence; adaptable to different tactical demands and suited to systems that require attacking full-backs who also contribute defensively.

Made the transition to senior football away from his home environment as a teenager and adapted quickly to a higher standard of competition.

Has been noted for maturity beyond his age when under pressure, often opting for controlled possession rather than risky clearances.
