Originally an attacking player, he has moved back into the centre of midfield over the past few years, becoming an all-action midfielder in the mould of his first-team manager, Patrick Vieira.
His popularity with coaches and teammates off the field belies his aggression on it. Tall, strong and skilful, he combines an impressive athleticism with an eye for a pass, and is crucial in Palace winning back possession in the middle of the park.
After featuring four times from the bench for the Under-18s in the 2020/21 season, as they took the title race down to the wire, he played for Paddy McCarthy’s Under-23s side against Dulwich Hamlet in pre-season of the 2021/22 campaign.
He went on to notch 23 league appaerances for Rob Quinn's Under-18 side in the 2021/22 season and even managed to feature three times at Under-23 level. His performances earned him a place in the squad which travelled to Singapore and Australia as part of preparations for the 2022/23 campaign.
