For the second game in a row, Mallik Wilks was voted as Doncaster Rovers’ man of the match on the club’s official website.

Wilks, on loan from Leeds United, scored Doncaster’s equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic to keep them in the play-off zone.

This was the youngster’s 13th goal of the season as he continues to add to his burgeoning reputation.

But Doncaster fans have praised his all-round game play and relentless running, as well as his goals, showing he is willing to put in a shift for the squad.

And when he returns to Leeds next season, Marcelo Bielsa needs to seriously consider a first-team call-up for Wilks.

Bielsa has already shown this season that he is not afraid to promote his young players if they are good enough.

The likes of Jack Clarke, Tyler Roberts and Jamie Shackleton have stepped up to first-team football with aplomb and Wilks could be next.

Wilks has only ever played one senior game for Leeds but next year could be his breakthrough campaign at Elland Road.

The 20-year-old has the potential to step up and has proven himself in League One this season.

The next step in his career is to impress Bielsa if he is given his opportunity in pre-season before the 2019/20 campaign.
