Jaden Heskey praises kid brother Reigan after goalscoring Man City UYL debut

Manchester City's Elite Development Squad forward Jaden Heskey has praised his brother Reigan.

The 15-year-old scored a goal for the Under-19s in his UEFA Youth League debut.

Reigan was immense in City's 3-0 win over Young Boys' Under-19s on Tuesday.

Jaden Heskey reflected post-game: “It was mad. He was actually at school at the time and found out there, then I got a text off my mum saying he was playing, then we found out today that he was starting.

“It was a big surprise, but it was good.

“I had confidence in him, he won it himself and he's normally very good at penalties.

“I didn't think the atmosphere would get to him too much."
