Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is delighted to see winger Jerome Thomas back in action after his return against Tottenham reserves.

Redknapp said: "Jerome did all right the other night. It was good to see him back out there again. He's been unfortunate with his injury really. He'd only just arrived here and then picked up a nasty-looking injury.

"The lad's back now, though, and came through the Spurs game okay. Now, hopefully, he can push on and challenge for the first team. I like him, he's definitely a talent, and he can do well for this football club for sure.

"He's another left-sided player and gives you another option on that side to what we have at the moment. In many ways he's similar to Armand Traore. He goes at people, he's exciting, he loves to attack, has bags of skill and can just make things happen.

"We haven't seen much of him because of the injury, but he is a player with terrific ability. Hopefully, he'll be back challenging again soon. He's another great option to have."
