Dewsbury-Hall’s opening day brace against Coventry City had analysts enthralled, and while he went on a relatively barren period in front of goal, he’s lately picked up that form again to put him on five league goals in only ten games for Enzo Maresca’s side.
It’s the kind of form that allows teams to recognise you in the Premier League, where numerous second-tier players have plied their trade and won the top division after developing in the Football League.
And, with Jack Grealish having been linked to big teams despite playing in the Championship like Dewsbury-Hall, the two have more in common than you may think.
Why are Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s career paths so similar?
Grealish has clearly had the more successful career, having earned England matches and a triple with Manchester City last season – but it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the winger star.
Grealish went and set an unwanted Premier League record of becoming the first player to lose 20 successive games in the division, having been a part of the disastrous 2015-16 team that finished on just 17 points and took just one win and one draw from a possible 15 games as they slid down the table with Remi Garde.
