The 19-year-old spent the month on loan to Annan Athletic from parent club Queen of the South and scored five goals in back-to-back matches against Elgin City and East Stirlingshire to banish memories of a turbulent spell during which his time at Hamilton Academical ended acrimoniously. His reputation within the game has been sufficient for him to earn a trial at Roy Hodgson's West Bromwich Albion in January – he went down at the same time as Dundee United's Scott Allan only to suffer an injury – Cardiff City, Hearts and Rangers, but his time at Galabank has indicated he may finally be ready to fulfil his long-delayed promise.
