Dearden Confident In Willis

Billy Dearden Has Been Impressed With Young Willis Francis

The Nottingham born youngster has pushed his way into Billy Dearden's squad over the past few months on a regular basis and has started 2 matches this season, against Luton and Swindon while he has come off the bench on 6 other occasions.

He has been starring in The Magpies youth and reserve sides this season, and his call up to the first team is nothing less than what he has deserved, with Billy Dearden clearly impressed.

"He's one for the future," Dearden said.

"Young Willis works hard and he keeps going. When he goes on the park that's what he's got to do - keep working at it - and then you never know."
