Neil produced a highly-encouraging debut off the bench when he replaced Jack Taylor in the 75th minute, helping Kieran McKenna’s side secure all three points at Pride Park.
He threaded an excellent through ball up the pitch for Chuba Akpom to counter – a moment of pure class.
Here’s what Town fans had to say about his performance…
Looks a very handy player and the answer to play alongside Azor.

He looks very composed with the ball. He’ll be a starter once he gets his fitness up to speed

Given he’s only been with us a few days, he looked very comfortable. He’s a great signing

Looks assured. Will be brilliant for Town

A really good signing for the Championship and certainly will be putting Jack Taylor under pressure to keep his position in the team.
