Joey Barton believes on-loan Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah could be destined for the very top after the 20-year-old delivered his most impressive and accomplished performance in a Bristol Rovers shirt so far.
Quansah was colossal in the heart of the Gas defence as they repelled Ipswich Town’s multiple attacking threats to claim a much-deserved 0-0 and end a run of four consecutive defeats in League One, three of which the centre-back has been a part of.
For any young player, let alone someone making their first steps in the professional game, to be parachuted into a losing environment, that would represent a significant challenge but it’s testament to Quansah’s attitude and temperament he’s simply carried on playing.
