England coach Peter Taylor has tipped West Ham's Nigel Reo-Coker to make a big impression in the Premiership next season after starring for the Under-20s in the Toulon Tournament.

Reo-Coker has led by example, scoring against South Korea, and has constantly given encouragement and instructions on the pitch, and Taylor believes his leadership has been a major factor in uniting the squad.

"The Premiership boys have shown an excellent attitude," he told PA International.

"I think the boys that have come from the lower divisions have appreciated how much they've been welcomed by the Premier boys, so everybody's been welcome and that's why they've been a really enjoyable group to take.

"Again I must speak about Nigel Reo-Coker, who has also been a very, very good captain. I think the way he's finished here he's going to have a good season.

"He knows he's still got to improve on certain things but he's had an excellent season and he's a great professional to be around."
