Matthew Upson, Born 18/4/1979: Central Defender

Upson is a talented young central defender who was slowly making his way into the first team until struck by injury. Having just recovered he is now working his way back towards the first team again. He is tall, strong, quick, a good reader of the game, can tackle well and is quite good in the air. He has formed a strong partnership with Stepanovs in reserve games and could be a perfect replacement for Adams or Keown in the near future.
