Words of advice for Portsmouth youngster following eye-catching Norwich outing

The Northern Irish winger arrived from Cliftonville in 2018 for an undisclosed fee and penned third-year scholarship terms with the Blues earlier this summer.

It was reward for his progress in the academy after scoring three goals in 23 games last campaign.

Teggart also delivered a man-of-match performance on his Pompey debut – a 3-1 victory against Norwich under-21s in the Leasing.com Trophy.

The 19-year-old joined Kenny Jackett's side for their pre-season training camp at Five Lakes Resort in Essex last week.

That culminated in an eye-catching second-half display in a 2-0 friendly victory over Norwich under-23s.

Pompey's player development manager, Mark Kelly, believes Teggart has the attributes to forge a good career for himself.

But now the Northern Ireland youth international needs to 'hone in' on certain areas of his game.

Kelly said: ‘Eoin has shown a bit of promise, playing in the Leasing.com Trophy last season.

‘It's now time for him to get his head down. He's quick, he's vibrant, got pace and can deliver a good ball into the box.

‘Now he just needs to hone in on the understanding of the game and the real emphasis around that.

‘That's going to be the real key for him this season.

‘He's got to get on top of that to kick on and has a lot of work to do, but there are certainly signs there he has the attributes you can really develop. He'll have to hone in on that.’

Teggart's primarily been confined to academy football since arriving on the south coast.

And along with featuring for the reserves in the upcoming season, Pompey will seek to get him out on loan to enhance his development.

Kelly added: ‘Eoin hasn't really had that opportunity to play senior football, so that will be part of the pathway for him.

‘That's the next step for him on a personal level, but we will manage that with the reserve games we put on and what level we can get him out at.’
