Who is Duncan Idehen? The Bristol City defender on the cusp of a first-team breakthrough

There was a surprise name on the team-sheet on Sunday when youngster Duncan Idehen was announced as a substitute for the first time.

A search of his Wikipedia page doesn't give much away. He's a 19-year-old defender who had a short stint at Grimsby making eight appearances in all competitions last season after coming through Norwich's academy and later joining Lincoln's youth set-up.

After leaving Grimsby, he then had a trial at Birmingham City that didn't work out before agreeing a six-month deal with the Robins in the New Year. He has made just one appearance for the Under-23s which came in a 3-3 draw with Cardiff.
