Bristol Rovers coach makes Josh Coburn prediction as Middlesbrough striker shines for the Gas

Josh Coburn has been building quite the reputation for himself at Bristol Rovers, but first-team coach Andy Mangan believes the best is yet to come in the blue and white quarters from the Middlesbrough loanee.

Deadline day signing Coburn was made to wait until October to make his Gas debut, but since then he has notched five goals and an assist in just nine League One appearances, forming a menacing partnership with Rovers' top scorer Aaron Collins.

The numbers are impressive, but what has been so impressive about the striker – who celebrated his 20th birthday on Tuesday – is how refined his all-around game is at such a young age. He has natural size, speed and strength, but his instincts in the penalty area are also first-class and, at League One level at least, he appears the complete package.
