when he first broke through and played a few first team games i thought he looked very good but then hasnt played much after so this will be good for his development
He looked solid and had some very safe hands. I remeber him taking some very awkward kicks very nicely. He's quite big, so seemed solid in the takle and could finish well, the only critisism was that he was playing on the wing wasn't out'n'out pacey - not slow mind.
He made a few appearences when Meli got stuck abroad, but then dropped out of sight. The rumour was that there was a clause in his contract that he'd get a payrise if he played more than 5 (1st team) games in a season.
I was suprised that he didn't get more chances last year with Wheeler being out injured and a centre berth needing filling. He had one run out in the centre at MM but got injured whilst being held up over the line by Webster.
I guess Foster's goal kicking is keeping him ahead in the pecking order, but from what I've seen, Armstrong is probably as good in other departments.
Saints should be pushing for Gaz Frodham to be joining him at Leigh.
