Matt Heath has been given a new contract by Peter Taylor, extending his time at the club until June 2003.

Now we all take the mickey out of PT for saying someone is one for the future, but Matt Heath most certainly is.

FFS watched him in every pre-season he played and he was awesome. He is our next Matt Elliott and quite frankly probably deserves a run out now, the way Elliott is playing.

Strong, tall. calm, composed, skillful and a leader. Heath (Squad No 28) has been the captain of the reserve team recently and looks mature and ready at 20 years of age.

Matt is a Leicester born lad who has come through the academy.

The sooner he gets off the subs bench and given a chance the better.
