'A great experience...a big step up' - Bakinson

And the former Luton Town Academy player, who joined City in August 2017, was full of praise for the loan system.

When asked if he could feel himself improving as a footballer, Bakinson replied: "Yes, playing on loan has been very beneficial for me, but it’s good for every player who wants to be out there play games.

"I am playing men’s football regularly which is a great experience and it is a big step up from playing Under-23s football."
