Already an England U17 international, it is likely that Rigg will be playing in the Premier League before he turns 18 one way or another
“We just let him play but make sure you have solidifying influences around him, let him be a free spirit.”
There was a moment in pre-season when Rigg got a start at Hartlepool and underwhelmed in a friendly defeat to non-league opposition. It was a rare but perhaps timely reminder to the coaching staff just how young he is and how carefully he needs to be managed.football before he turns 18 one way or another.
“He’s very dynamic, he’s good on the ball, has excellent movement in and out of possession and has got great awareness,” he says. “That’s the thing that sets him out from other talented players of his age, it’s almost like he’s got a senior pro’s brain.” Henderson’s reputation might have taken a bit of battering after his unconvincing interview this week, in which he made a fairly poor case for his move to Saudi Arabia. But on Wearside he still represents the gold standard of their youth production line. No wonder they are so excited about Rigg’s potential in these parts.
