Jim Jefferies, the Dunfermline Athletic manager, is certain that Callum Morris is capable of stepping up to the SPFL Premiership.
The 24-year-old defender has impressed for the Fife side this season and is attracting interest from Aberdeen, Dundee United and Partick Thistle.
He has turned down the offer of a new contract already and seems sure to move on in the summer. That has disappointed Jefferies - the coach signed Morris, who played previously at Blyth Spartans and Hayes & Yeading - but he is sure the defender has the capacity to play at a higher level.
"He's got the potential to go and play in the Premiership, there's no doubt about that," said Jefferies. "It's just sad that we've resurrected and all we were looking for was something back. If he wants to move on, then fine."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
