What his teammates say…
“He has very good goal sense…he’s a really tricky player to mark. He’s a cruisey guy which can sometimes lead you into a false sense of security as he’s ready to pounce at any opportunity. He’s a ball magnet up front and a very good player. Off the pitch he’s pretty relaxed…he’s quite an intelligent and book smart man…sometimes he can lack a bit of that common sense which can give us all a bit of a laugh.” Jake Harvie
