Luca Barrington has five goals and six assists so far this season in Premier League 2.

Luca Barrington has lofty ambitions for the end of the Premier League 2 season.

His assist in the 3-2 win against his form club Manchester City on Sunday took his goal contributions up to 11 for the campaign (five goals, six assists), as the 18-year-old closed in on his personal target for the season.

“As a group I want us to get as many points as possible in the league, while personally I want to get to 15 goal contributions. I am four off at the moment with four games to play.

“Once I got going my season really took off, but I’ll reflect at the end of it to see where I can do better next year.”

Luca admits it took a little while to find his feet on the south coast.

“At the start it was difficult as I was a long way from my family. But the lads have been very welcoming from the get-go and that made it a lot easier on and off the pitch. There’s [Jack] Hinchy and a few others who are from the north, they are good to chat to.

The former Manchester City man wants to finish the season with 15 goal contributions.

“Having that time to settle in has definitely paid off. I’ve got a lot of minutes in Premier League 2 which is great, especially being one of the younger ones in the team."

The 18-year-old was nominated for PL2 Player of the Month for March. “I had a good month goal contribution wise. Off the pitch I have really tried to dedicate myself to working hard. Getting the nomination meant a lot, hopefully there’s more to come.”

Albion face Arsenal at Boreham Wood's Meadow Park, kick off 7pm.
