From the games I have seen him play, he reminds me of Tom Nichols.
Not a bad comparison and physique wise very similar. Throughout his youth he was mainly a right winger or right in a three. Played mainly at Thorverton before re-joining City at 15 having been released a few years before. Quick but not electric. I've always felt he would work better as a No10 than a No9

Or maybe you could watch him at a game, perhaps in a U23 match ?
Living in London it can be a bit tricky to just pop along.

If you are not coming to SJP on Saturday, Dorchester are playing at Barnet in the FA Trophy 2nd Round ko 3pm. The following Sat they are at Chesham. In March they visit Farnborough and Walton, and April Hendon and Kings Langley if he hasn't been recalled by then ! Here to help !

This is extremely anecdotal, but if you're tall and built in the westcountry as a kid, you're earmarked for the rugby team. If you're tall and slight, you're earmarked for cricket. If you've slipped through those cracks, you're put in goal. We're also just not that tall generally, very noticeable when I came back from the Netherlands for Christmas.

12 in 15 games, playing for a side in the bottom half of the table; not to shoddy at all.

I believe the Dutch are now the tallest in the world. Something to do with their diet and standard of living?
