Millwall boss Rowett praises Leeds youngster Cresswell for handling omissions

Millwall boss Gary Rowett has praised Leeds United loanee Charlie Cresswell after being omitted for the past four games.

Cresswell returned to the squad in Millwall's 2-1 victory over West Brom.

He started on the bench but was introduced at the start of the second half as Millwall climbed into the play-offs courtesy of a 90th-minute winner from Tyler Burey.

Rowett said: “Cressy showed a lot of character coming on after a tough period [out of the side].

"He has worked really hard and he's got his rewards because he played really, really well. He gave us a little bit of composure on the ball."
