The 22-year-old academy graduate has broken into the first team this season and impressed Taylor in recent weeks. "Alex has come in now, played seven or eight games on the bounce of a certain level and he's deserved that chance," Taylor said. "But he's got an ability about him, he's dynamic, he's strong, he wants to head the ball, he just wants to defend.
