It was trips to Devon in his childhood - treading a very familiar path from Birmingham down the M5 - that helped me fall in love with the West Country, a part of the country he’s called home for the last five years.
Lasting memories of the “characters” he encountered at holiday parks and the warmth and friendliness of locals delivered memories for a lifetime for the young right wing-back that have helped make the transition to the area that little bit easier in adulthood.
