Everton youngster Isaac Heath impressing at Accrington Stanley

Accrington Stanley fans have been impressed by Isaac Heath since joining on loan from Everton in the summer.

Heath was in action against Swindon yesterday and scored his second goal for the club in a thumping 4-0 win.

Speaking post-match, manager John Doolan admitted that everyone around the club has been really excited by the 20-year-old wide player.

“Quality… he’s learning all the time,” Doolan said.

“He’s another one that’s on the other side of the scale to Paddy (Madden), he’s just learning his trade, he’s come out on his first loan, he’s excited everyone in all of the games he’s played.

“He’s going to have a little dip every now and again, but when he does put performances in like that, when he picks his head up and picks people out unselfishly, as I said, he’s got those qualities about him to do that, which is great.”

Isaac Heath says he enjoys the pressure of senior football

This is Heath’s first taste of senior football, having come through the ranks at Everton.

He spoke to the club’s website earlier this month and admitted he’s enjoying the pressure of needing to pick up results every week.

“The intensity has been a lot higher (than Under-21s football) and there’s a lot more riding on the games. There’s definitely a lot more pressure going into the games, but it’s something that I enjoy experiencing.

“It’s been difficult at times, in terms of physicality. The ball’s definitely in the air a lot more, in a way, so there are different parts of my game that I can improve on and I can definitely improve a lot on many different aspects, like getting stronger when I’m playing against older players and players that are a lot stronger than me.”
