The 19-year-old has been an unused substitute on several occasions but has yet to play for the first team.[LNB]However, Gradi has been impressed by Tootle and the full-back could feature against Northampton.[LNB]He told the club's official website: "Matt has done remarkably well and had a terrific year last year for the under 18s. He is always top of the running that we do, and has grown in strength and skill a lot which has given him such a confidence boost.[LNB]"I don't think he would be fazed if I threw him in there, he isn't that type of player, he's not been fazed by anything yet. Looking back perhaps I should have given him a chance on Saturday.[LNB]"I have no worries about playing him if I need to. If he doesn't make his debut this weekend, then I can certainly see if happening this season."[LNB][LNB]
