Exeter City v Rotherham United: Matt Hamshaw's plans to improve Leeds United loanee Harry Gray
Matt Hamshaw says Harry Gray's loan at Rotherham United will be a "massive help" to the teenager's development, with plans afoot to further expand his horizons.
The 17-year-old forward has already made an impact in his half-season loan from Leeds United.
On Tuesday he became the Millers' youngest goalscorer, and with debutant Emmanuel Adegboyega also finding the net as they came from 1-0 down to beat Northampton Town, he helped lift spirits at the New York Stadium.
Rotherham are at Exeter City on Saturday, and it is not inconceivable victory could lift them out of the relegation zone. Their chances are much better now Gray is on board.
"I said when we signed him, I think you'll see him getting better and better game on game," said manager Hamshaw.
"I think he's not aware of what he's coming into.
"We're helping him on the training pitch, we're helping him through clips etc. I think we'll massively help him.
"The fact he's the youngest ever scorer in Rotherham United's history is a phenomenal achievement. You look at some of the good young players there have been at this club and the fact that he's broken that record is huge credit to him.
"We kind of knew what we were getting. We're lucky that he's chosen to come to this club and I think he's enjoying it.
"Whenever a player gets a goal, it breeds confidence in them."
Gray has largely been used at centre-forward so far, but it will probably please Leeds to hear Hamshaw plans to test him in different attacking positions.
"He can play a number of roles," he said. "He's an intelligent lad, an intelligent player.
"We've gone with him as one of two nines (centre-forwards) with Sam Nombe. We'll play him as a '10' (in the hole) in some games. We might play him off the right, drifting in.
"He reminds me a little bit of Izzy Brown in that he can float, he can play in between the lines, he can see a pass. He's got that cutting edge, he's a goal threat.
"Every day, he's working on his game, whether that's finishing or a bit of hold-up play. They're the type of players that you want.
"You want the players who keep coming and asking you for work."
