Ian Baraclough has likened Paddy Lane to a young Stuart Dallas and hopes the Northern Ireland debutant can follow in the Leeds United player’s footsteps in English football.
Lane was one of two young prospects, alongside Sunderland’s Trai Hume, to win his first cap in Tuesday night’s 1-0 friendly defeat to Hungary in Belfast.
The talented 21-year-old, who only made his Fleetwood Town debut in September, started at left wing-back and his bright display impressed the onlooking Baraclough.
