Biography:
The talented wide-man joined the club during the summer of 2017 looking to fulfil his undoubted potential.
The former England Under-17 international was a highly-rated prospect when coming through the ranks at Swindon Town with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa all vying for his signature.
He eventually joined Manchester City for an undisclosed fee at the age of just 16.
His early days at City saw him fulfil his promise and a loan deal at Chesterfield in January 2013 was extended after he impressed in League Two.
Another loan switch, this time to Bristol Rovers, saw him score his first professional goal as once again he did well and this prompted a loan move into The Championship with Ipswich Town for the remainder of the 2013/14 campaign.
His move to Portman Road was made permanent in the summer of 2014 and was to last until February 2016, during which time he also had a loan spell at Blackpool.
A spell north of the border with Kilmarnock was to follow before he turned out for Margate and most recently Braintree Town in The National League.
