Brian Easton insists youngster Sam Nicolson getting a taste of the first team environment at Hamilton Accies last week shows the club’s academy kids they can get opportunities under boss Stuart Taylor.
Club captain Easton coaches Accies’ under-18s and was bursting with pride to see 17-year-old Nicolson get on the bench for the 1-1 draw at home to Inverness last week.
The striker didn’t get any minutes but Easton insists the teen got a big buzz from being involved, and it shows his academy team-mates they will be rewarded if they put the hard work in.
