He was taken out of school for the journey. He was then named on the bench in the Seasiders' following match, a home tie against Scunthorpe United in the EFL Trophy on 27 November.[3][4] He made his professional debut on 1 December, in the final minute of normal time of Blackpool's 3–1 victory over Maidstone United in the second round of the FA Cup.[5]
