"There's a lot of pressure to win trophies, so they don't give youngsters or reserves a chance.[LNB]"If I stayed I could have been in the reserves for years, but I knew I had to go to play football at the best level possible.[LNB]"I was impressed that Bolton watched me in the reserves and wanted me for a long time.
