From my Swindon contact:
We spent 2 whole seasons nurturing this guy, he never once played for Southampton! He is a bit calamitous, but very cultured. He will bring the ball out of defence with a wierd grace and skin midfielders en route because of his ball control.
Often lacking pace in a straight sprint, doesn't use his height well either. He is not a typical CB but can play wide in a back 3. He was our player of the season 2 seasons ago but many put that down to the Jack Stevens partnership. Town fans are divided about him but I really wanted us to sign him on a perm and was convinced he would. He started off life in our academy and is a local lad too. We must have had an option on him but for whatever reason decided against it. Stevens is the better player but he is good too. Good signing.
