Millwall boss Gary Rowett says Leeds United loanee Charlie Cresswell 'showed what he was all about' as he scored a brace and kept a clean sheet on his Millwall debut. Cresswell started in Millwall's Championship opener against Stoke on Saturday, and the 19-year-old scored either side of half-time to secure a 2-0 win for the Lions.
The centre-back joined Millwall on a season-long loan this summer, and has been joined by another Whites loanee in Jamie Shackleton who also started the game before being taken off in the 76th minute. Not only did Cresswell score two goals, but the young defender also impressed with his defensive work and passing range, and Rowett predicts there's a lot more to come.
“I just said to him: ‘It doesn’t get any better than that, does it?’ As a young player making his Millwall debut, he showed what he was all about," Rowett told South London News.
