A talented young player who unfortunately lost his way. He looked to have it all as a box to box midfielder. Had a couple of excellent games including Charlton away shown on Sky. He went on a couple of great surging runs & really looked the business. A lot of people thought who is this kid & why was he not playing more regularly. But as with a lot of young players inconsistency was the problem.
As I remember cowley didn't want to play him regularly then he got injured. His contract came up for renewal was offered a new one but not on the terms he & his agent wanted. His agent then told him he could get him a better contract at Charlton without getting a firm offer.
That fell through & no other Div 1 or Championship offers so ended up at Colchester. He's appears to have received bad advice from his agent or he ignored the advice we will never know. But he's still young & if he can shine where he is he may be able to move in January.
