City starlet is hailed by Holloway
Leicester Mercury
|September 30, 2025
LEICESTER City prospect Tom Wilson-Brown is better than any academy centre-back in the country, his loan manager Ian Holloway has said in a rave review of the 20-year-old.
Wilson-Brown, right, has been a regular for Swindon Town since joining the League Two high-fliers on loan in the summer.
He was used as a substitute at the weekend, helping the Robins to see out a 2-0 win over Bromley that took them up to second, but he’s usually started under Holloway, who thinks extremely highly of him.
Wilson-Brown is out of contract at City next summer, but if Holloway’s words are anything to go by, they will want to hand him a new deal and hope his development continues.
