In the 2015–16 season he scored five goals in his opening nine matches for the Villa Under-18s side and was later selected for the annual international seven-a-side tournament, the Hong Kong Soccer Sevens, which Villa won for the record sixth time.[3] He was named on the first team bench for a Football League Cup match against Notts County by Tim Sherwood in August 2015 but did not take part. Villa won 5–3 in extra time.[5]
