Steve Stone praised Robbie Brady for his focus as the winger closes in on a first team return.
Wide man Brady has stepped up his recovery from a rib injury with two games for Stone’s U23 side, including a 90-minute run-out in Monday’s 0-0 draw at Turf Moor.
And the Development Squad Head Coach feels the Irish international, who was placed on stand-by for the latyest round of internationals, is now ready to stake his claim for a starting place ion the domestic front.
“It’s important for Robbie that he’s now had two games with us,” said Stone.
