Liverpool loanee Jack Dunn believes he will take big steps forward with Cheltenham Town after making a scoring debut for the League Two side.
The striker who has learned from Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Luis Suarez will hopefully take his experience with the Reds into the lower leagues and help fire Cheltenham into the play offs.
Dunn, who is an England youth international having played at U-17, U-18 and U-19 level is hoping that playing in the men’s game now will benefit him in the long run with his loan deal expiring at the end of the season. The 19 year-old is highly thought of at Melwood training ground where Brendan Rodgers eyes the talent in his squad and Dunn is now hoping to reproduce the same display when putting a Robins shirt on this weekend.
“I couldn’t have thought of anything better to start the new year to get a goal and a win,” Dunn said.
“To come from Liverpool to get a new challenge in the Football League playing against men is great. It’s what I need for the next stage of my development.
“I’ve been playing Under-21 football for a few years and I’m only going to gain experience from being here. Getting as many games as I can is only going to benefit me going back to Liverpool.
“There is a lot more experience and know how in the defenders in this league and that will take some getting used to.”
Dunn is hoping that his loan spell can see him earn a place on the pre-season tour next year where youth players are normally given a chance. And he admits that from learning and watching the likes of Reds legends Owen and Fowler, he couldn’t be in a better position starting this year.
He added: “I’ve been lucky enough to watch Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and Luis Suarez play for Liverpool and I like to take a bit from each of those players and put it into my game. “Robbie comes down and trains with us, he’s spoken to me a lot during that time and you can’t really learn from someone better than that.”
