Coach's Overall Comments:
Interesting player with potential. Only played 3 full-field games due to late arrival. Has the tools to make an impact on a team. Needs to be more active and decisive in demanding the ball. Has speed and good at dribbling. Low center of gravity which could make him dangerous in 1v1 situation. Looks to combine with MF/Checks well. Proper angles. Needed more time to adjust to group.
