He has grown in confidence and he could be a fantastic player. He might out-grow us but I like to think we are bringing in players that will grow with this club. We think he's going to be an important player for us for a number of years and I'm delighted he's extended his contract."[6] He made 51 league and cup appearances for Stockport in the 2006–2007 season,[7] and won the club's Young Player of the Year award at the end of the season.[8]
