Last updated : 04 May 2004 By Site Editor
The Clacton Born youngster was in his first full season for the club, and Royle told the Evening Star just how happy he was with him: “It is a fantastic achievement for a player in his first full season. Ian went in and just got better and better.

“He is a confident, fit young man who relished it. Sometimes young players feel their way in gradually but Ian just took to it and apart from a couple of times when we gave him a rest he has made it hard to leave him out.

"He has done very well and has added goals to his game which he didn't really have in the reserves."
