AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson has heaped praise on Ryley Towler's "outstanding" start to life on loan and made note of his professionalism following a recent cameo in midfield.
Towler, 20, scored his first senior goal at the weekend after equalising in a 3-1 defeat at Walsall when he reacted quickest to a loose ball to finish from six-yards out. He has started five out of their last six matches after being made to wait for his chance following his move on deadline day.
City's starlet admitted he was tucked up in bed when the call came in over a potential switch to the League Two side. It's his fourth loan spell in four seasons but his first in the Football League having had stints with Frome Town, Taunton Town and Grimsby Town.
