DEVELOPMENT PLAYER FOCUS - BRADLEY SINCLAIR

PHOTO: U20's striker Bradley Sinclair has been unfortunate with injury setbacks this season.

When Edinburgh born Bradley was signed on a full time basis in the summer of 2014 he certainly didn't expect his first season to pan out as it has. But after his second injury lay off he's aiming to come back stronger and play a big role for the U20's next season.

'I signed after playing a game against St Johnstone U17's last season and a few days later I got a phone call asking me to sign full time in the summer' said Bradley. 'However my first season has been a bit stop start'

'I picked up an injury at the start of the season which kept me out for two months and I've been out for 11 weeks with my current injury'. For the U17's I've scored roughly a goal a game when playing but I would have liked to play more, especially for the U20's'.

Bradley who has dislocated his knee cap had an operation about 9 weeks ago. However he is well on his way to recovery and Was full of optimism about his progress.

'It's frustrating not being able to play football but you just need to concentrate on getting back. The aim for me is to be back around 2 weeks before the end of the season but my main aim is to come back stronger next season and get myself into the team'

Bradley was speaking to Josh Barrie before the U20's 3-2 home win over Kilmarnock.
