County boss Martin Allen believes his son Charlie has a big chance to make a name for himself both at County and in league one.

The player came to Notts via Dagenham and Redbridge in the summer on a one year deal and the 19 year old has barely looked back since.

‘I`m so proud of him. I thought he was absolutely superb,’ said Allen.

‘He can still improve a lot but it was only last winter he was working on a building site. It’s his own determination, guts, character and drive that has got him to where he is now.’

He added: ‘His name is a problem for him and I suppose for me but he deserved his chance because he was outstanding in the reserves.

‘I’ve had a hunch about him for a while that he was going to get bigger and stronger and that with his work ethic he was going to be a player.

‘He needs to find more quality with his final pass and his finishing needs to get better, but when you have the athleticism and energy to break through defences and out-run other midfield players like he has, you are potentially worth a huge amount of money and can go up to play at a higher level.’
