English-born Inniss makes solid return for Colchester.
By Shaun Fuentes (Guardian).
English-born defender Ryan Inniss, who is eligible to play for T&T through his father being a T&T-born, has made a solid return from injury during his loan spell at English League Two club Colchester United. The former England Under 17 player stated “It’s great to be considered by Trinidad,” Inniss said recently.
The 22-year-old, on loan from Crystal Palace for the rest of the season, mastered his team’s three-man defence in the 3-1 win over Crawley Town on Saturday.
“I’m so excited about this season,” said. Inniss.
“I think the club is in a false position. Once you get a run of games, confidence grows, especially in young lads. When we get on a run, I’m sure that we will feel unbeatable.
“Playing like we did in the first half (against Crawley), this club should be at a higher level than this. And we need to rectify that.” Innis added. He relished his new role as a sweeper, a position he could well make his own this season. “It’s new to me, playing there, but it saved my legs a little, although perhaps we dropped a little too deep in the second half.
