Player Watch Welcome James Blanck. Extends to 2026!

[Hawker55]

He's about 22yrs old with 25x games (give or take).

I reckon his next step (over the next 75ish games) is to develop into an elite stopper & work through his positioning deficiencies so that he's the bedrock of a Team Defensive Unit.

This. We have enough players who create play from the back line - Blanck's job will be to mark/bring the ball to ground and get it to them.
