Really tough to say, he's a decent enough defender to play either full back position and overlap the winger who he's playing behind. Though for me, down either wing is his best position. I've seen him do very well down the right wing, playing crosses in which he still needs to work on to be fair. Seeing him play left wing yesterday, he looked like a revelation! Cutting inside, floating in behind Macheda and his turn of pace completely overpowered the the opposing full back - his strike for the goal was surprising too.
Next season in the Academy (and possibly Reserves too) will really define where the coaching staff feel he is best suited, he's very versatile which is a good attribute though a settled position would perhaps benefit in focusing and honing his talent.
