Comments
- Avoid single-sentence paras.
- The end of the first sentence and beginning of the second sentence are somewhat repetitive, about his position.
- Removed the first instance.--EchetusXe 09:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- "moved to left-back" link that position first time in main body.
- "joined Southern League club" maybe clarify this was non-League?
- We have an article about professional football I think which could be linked.
- "he was offered his first professional contract " vs "signed his first professional deal" so did he reject the first offer?
- That's strange, we'll go with the BBC source.--EchetusXe 09:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- " the 2012–13 season" put season inside the pipe.
- "15 starts and three" 15/3 or fifteen/three.
- "as the "Stags" posted" that nickname is not explained nor intuitive.
- "was sent off in" link.
- "newly appointed" hyphen.
- "2018–19 season" season inside pipe.
- "in fourth-place" no hyphen.
- "the play-offs despite" link specific.
- "converting his penalty" link.
- No need to link Mexico.
- " the 2019–20 season" season inside pipe.
- "21st on points per game" find a good link for PPG.
- Did the closest I could find.--EchetusXe 09:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- "the 2020–21 season" season inside pipe.
- "represent India in August" perhaps "the India national team"?
- "attacking left-back, who is also " overlinked although to a different target.
- Scorelines in ref titles should use en-dash, not hyphen.
That's about all I have for now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- OKay thank you, I have addressed those points.--EchetusXe 09:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: Feel free to word the hook better if you can be more pithy.
Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 08:08, 3 September 2021 (UTC).
.... Good status and a pleasure to read. QPQ provided. The hook is interesting, but I can't think of a more concise way to say it. May be another editor might suggest one. Hook is in the article and the following citations lead to references with the fact. I found him on p.3 in [1] and in here,.... if you wanted to add. Copyvio is high because the article itself has been copied to elsewhere. The image is clearish and free. Initially thought it odd regarding his placing of hands, but googling footballers, it appears a common postion. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:38, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
