Stoke City defender on the attacking lessons he is learning and his mentor at Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers defender Connor Taylor admits there is still room for him to improve when it comes to his impact in the final third after scoring his second goal of the season.

Taylor got the winner against Bradford City on Saturday, responding to manager Joey Barton's demand for more attacking contributions from the big centre-back by prodding home Paul Coutts' cross to complete the comeback for the Gas.

Taylor's aerial dominance in a defensive capacity is a crucial factor in the solidity and control the Gas have developed in their game in recent months, but the 20-year-old – on loan from Stoke City – is yet to score with his head this season and he is aware that is the next progression he needs to implement into his game.
