The lad played for Hartlepool at the Crown in Stanley's 3-1 win back in October and skied one chance over the Clayton End from 12 yards and put another out for a throw-in from a similar range. If that wasn't indication enough that he wasn't a striker then Christ knows what Coley was waiting to see.
Interestingly, reports from Huddersfield have him down as a central midfielder or a central defender, so maybe he is a decent player if he's put in the right position but we'll never know from his time at Stanley.

When he first came i mentioned he caught my eye when he came on for Hartlepool.
I remember him giving Rob a few problems and would have scored,but Jess pulled off a good save.
Wonder why Hartlepool played him up top as well ?.
Coley probably remembered him and thought there was potential in converting him into a 6-5 Liam Dickinson type of player(he always caused problems).
He must be good in the air if he played centre back,but strangely didn't show it.
You had to give him a run of games to get a true opinion,but i think our passing style exposed his limitations.
Hope he does well in his career,but as others have said he has to keep on improving
