Stoke City head of football operations Andy Cousins has indicated the Potters are still to make a final decision on Connor Taylor’s next move - whether to keep him at the bet365 Stadium or loan him out again - as he prepares to line up against Bristol Rovers at the Mem.
Taylor is set to start for Michael O’Neill’s side in Tuesday night’s friendly in BS7, just over two months after he was celebrating on the pitch in blue and white having been part of the team that secured promotion into League One via a final day 7-0 triumph over Scunthorpe United.
The 20-year-old has been involved in all three of Stoke’s pre-season games so far, lining up on the right-hand side of the back three with O’Neill admitting at the start of the summer he wants to get a proper look at the defender before deciding his pathway to the first-team.
