00:00Hi folks, I spoke to Johnny Stuttle's youth coach at Bournemouth a few days ago to get the lowdown really on his time with the academy and how Bournemouth view his loan at Walsall.
00:15And James Lowy, who has managed Stuttle at youth level for the Cherries, has backed the 19-year-old to seize his chance in League 2 next season and feels it will be a fantastic opportunity for him to move on to the next stage of his development.
00:34Obviously, Stuttle impressed during the second half of last season on loan at Farnborough, scoring 10 goals in 19 games in the National League South.
00:46And Walsall themselves have become a prime destination for loan players with the success stories of Tommy Simpkin and, of course, Nathan Lowe last term.
00:56And even in Matt Sather's first season with Emmanuel Adabiega and Freddie Draper.
01:00And James Lowy is hopeful that Stuttle can gain similar benefits from his experience with Walsall.
01:11And, yeah, spoke about kind of his strengths and the fact that, you know, over this past year to 18 months, especially with his loans at Aldershot and then, of course, Farnborough,
01:23that, you know, he's really developed into the all-round number nine and that's something, you know, that he'll look to continue to improve and hone his skills while at Walsall.
01:34And, yeah, I said, obviously, he has to earn the opportunity in Walsall colours, but feels like if it comes his way, as it did at Farnborough,
01:42not quite the case during the first half of the campaign on loan at Aldershot.
01:47But if the opportunity comes his way, he's confident, knowing Stuttle's character and determination, that he will take the opportunity with both hands.
