"I like the way he glides with the ball, little shimmies, he's good technically and he's a good lad as well.

"If he's trying to do stuff I'll try to speak to him. With the young kids, you try to keep their confidence up.

"We've got a young squad, it's nice to have that bit of experience and share it with others and push others in the right direction."
