Former Sheffield Wednesday whiz George Hirst is already making his mark at Leicester City.

After their 3-0 defeat to Brighton, Foxes U23 coach Steve Beaglehole was nonetheless pleased with the promise shown by Hirst, a summer signing from Belgian partners OH-Leuven.

"I was delighted for players like George," Beaglehole told LCFC TV. "It was a big night for him and he's not fully fit yet, so he needs games, but he was shooting with vengeance.

"He won his headers, got a few shots off on goal, and he showed traits of players who have done well for this Development Squad over the years.

"He had a desire and a winner's mentality about him. He was totally unfazed by coming into the game and I was really pleased with him. He was the big positive from this evening."

Hirst is the son of Owls great David Hirst.
