“Ben is probably the most professional young player I have ever seen. He trains hard every day and is always looking to improve, and he is constantly asking questions as to how he can get better.

“Browny unfortunately had his season shortened by injury, but he’s a local lad who is proud to play for the club, he has got good leg speed and bounces about like a pin-ball when he is out there. He has some good attributes that we are looking to develop.”
