He\u2019s already shown what he can do in League One and at 22, we feel there\u2019s still plenty more to come from him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cJust as importantly, he\u2019s got a fantastic attitude. He wants to improve, he\u2019s hungry to work every day and he\u2019s fully bought into what we\u2019re trying to build here.
