The 23-year-old former Arsenal trainee misses the start of the new campaign after dislocating a shoulder in a pre-season friendly. The midfielder spent last term with Third Division Southend United but made only one substitute's appearance through injury and signed for the Bulls on a season-long deal in the summer. An exciting player, he enjoyed a successful three-year spell at Yeovil Town and was in impressive form for United before his injury at Bromsgrove.
