Birthplace: Barnsley
Position: Midfielder
Joined United: 01 Jul 2015​

Another schoolboy to be blooded in the Under-18s in 2014/15, he made his first start at that level in the 4-2 defeat to Middlesbrough in the final game of the season.

A debut had arrived as early as October 2014 when he replaced Zach Dearnley in the 77th minute of the 4-1 beating of Blackburn Rovers.

A tricky operator who can play in midfield or out wide, he has been with United since the age of eight and progressed through the system.

The Barnsley-born youngster favours playing in the centre of the park and is very skilful but just needs time to develop physically as he bids to make an impression at Under-18 level.

Kieran McKenna:

"A very popular lad in the dressing room - a bubbly and positive character who is a really good technical midfielder. He controls the game and has been massively integral to the team but has been a quiet part of some of the success the forwards have had due to their link-up play. He's provided really good service and has been a big part of it. I feel there is a lot of development still to come too."
