He had a great chance to come back to us after his loan and get into the team ahead of Yacob to partner Mulumbu. Instead he decided to stay with Derby and then had his first serious injury.
No, his first serious injury was a cruciate with us that kept him out through 2013; it was after he recovered that we sent him on loan to Derby, and then he did the cruciate again. Can't help but feel he'd have had this trouble no matter what choices he made, which is a shame, because when he signed his first senior contract he was touted as a real future star.
