I'll take a look at this one, will post comments soon. Kosack (talk) 20:42, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Initial review:

Lead

• Matty would appear to be a common hypocorism which should not be included, per WP:ALTNAME.
• Perhaps mention what league Ebbsfleet were playing in when he joined them on a permanent basis as later it mentions he returned to the Football League.

Early career

• The two-year scholarship is not mentioned in the reference at the end of the sentence, it only mentions that he joined the club at the age of fifteen.
• "all of which from the substitute's bench", should that be came from or were from?

Loan spells

• "Following a brief return to the first-team set-up at Scunthorpe with two brief substitute appearances in December 2013", bit of repetition there with brief being used twice.
• Link the first use of Hat-trick.
• Link Bromley.

Stevenage

• "In doing so he became Stevenage manager Darren Sarll's first signing as full-time manager of Stevenage", a bit of repetition of Stevenage could probably just use the club or something similar for the second mention.
• "England's top four tiers in opening months of that calendar year", should there be a the between in and opening?

Honours

• First award isn't referenced.

References

• Refs 5, 9, 23, 41, 43 and 45 need an author.

Overall, very little I can find to complain about, a highly polished article. Just a few minor issues so on hold for now. Kosack (talk) 14:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Evening Kosack. Thanks for taking the time out to review the article. Have made all of the above changes, please let me know if there is anything else. Cheers. SBFCEdit (talk) 18:05, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

A very quick response. I'm satisfied that this meets the GA criteria and will happily promote. Well done. Kosack (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
