Southampton attacker made a triumphant return to action for the under-23s.
Southampton talent Jake Hesketh made an impressive return to under-23 action last night in a 6-2 victory over Newcastle United.
Hesketh was making his first appearance of the season last night, having missed the previous two months to injury.
It was a win under-23 coach Rahdi Jaidi described as ’emphatic’ speaking to the club website, and Hesketh could not have wished to come back into better circumstances.
The 21-year-old commented on Twitter after making his return.
Hesketh has made more than 50 appearances for the Saints at under-23 level, and has made four first team appearances for the club.
He still faces a big fight to get back into the first team picture, but last night was a step in the right direction.
There are very few clubs in England better for young players to develop, and if Hesketh can stay fit, he has every chance of fulfilling his potential at Southampton.
