“There is an opportunity for a talent like Declan to find a moment of brilliance.

“But the challenge for Declan is being able, when the game is tight, to commit to what the team needs before engineering himself back into it.

“He can then have the big moments as the game opens up.

“We can then get a more complete and rounded player. The only thing that has robbed Declan of that development until now is 14 months of injury.

“We need to make sure we do what’s right for his development and are excited to see where he can go in the future.”
