Latest recruit Max Thompson admitted it was a ‘brilliant feeling’ to be thrown straight into the action on Tuesday evening, after coming on and grabbing an assist in his first appearance since signing for the club.
The young striker, who joined the Clarets from Everton, signed an 18-month contract on Monday at Turf Moor and was called upon immediately, after being named among the substitutes for Tony Philliskirk’s side’s 5-0 win over Curzon Ashton in the FA Youth Cup.
Thompson replaced Lewis Richardson with 20 minutes to play, as the Clarets led 3-0, and didn’t wait long to get in amongst the action, after a great pass found Mitch George to fire home a fourth of the evening.
