Stafford Rangers boss Neil Kitching is backing Josh Gordon to impress in trials at Leicester City.

The 22-year-old, who has been given a chance to become the Premier League champions' next Jamie Vardy, has netted 11 goals in 18 games for Boro including a superb solo effort to seal their 3-2 win over Workington on Saturday.

“We're really pleased that a player that's played for us has been given such an opportunity," said Kitching. “He deserves this opportunity and he goes with our best wishes.

“Obviously we don't want to lose him, but when a Premier League club comes calling you have to give your players the chance to go and prove themselves."
