Bristol City youngster Ben Acey felt the weight of expectation on his shoulders having followed in the footsteps of Alex Scott but is keen to forge his own pathway into the senior set-up.
Like Scott, the 19-year-old midfielder joined the Robins from Guernsey FC in May last year along with young striker Tim Ap Sion. He then signed a new one-year deal in October that will keep him at the club until 2024.
Acey, who has trained with the first-team on occasions, has yet to make the breakthrough but has been a key figure in City's successful Under-21 campaign. Ali Hines' side are currently joint top of the Professional Development League and enjoyed a promising Premier League Cup run which ended with a penalty defeat in the last eight against Nottingham Forest on Monday.
