Bright and Hove Albion coach Garry Potter has been singing the praises of his utility man Tariq Lamptey this season.

The young defender has been fit this season and playing well for the Amex Stadium side.

Tariq Lamptey’s adaptability and willingness to play in different positions has been a real positive for Graham Potter this campaign.

The 21-year-old has been utilised in every position on the right flank for Albion throughout the season, with his searing pace getting Albion supporters off their seats.

“It’s about using his attributes as well as we can based on the game we want to play,” Potter explained. “Sometimes we have used him high up and sometimes he’s one of the highest up the pitch – I think of the Chelsea game where we’ve used him as a wing-back that’s very pushed on and attacking the backline.

“Ultimately Tariq needs to be doing that, threatening the opposition defenders as much as he can. Sometimes he can do that from right-back or right wing-back or a little bit higher.

“But the fact that he’s so open minded and so ready to help the team makes it easy for me. It’s about finding the right solution for him.”
