Eccleston's Debut and Future
Junior Eccleston said: "I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s been a big change for me, moving up by myself, but once I met all the players and the coaches, they made me feel really welcome which is good." He also stated: "It was a really big achievement for me. I’m really proud and even happier to obviously see out the three points last Saturday." Eccleston competes with Remeao Hutton for the right-back position and sees Hutton as someone to learn from.
