The 19-year-old Norwich City striker, who secured a season-long loan deal at the Proact earlier today, partners Scott Boden in attack.

That means Liam Mandeville drops back into midfield alongside Laurence Maguire and Robbie Weir, with Joe Rowley on the bench.

John Sheridan is giving Luke Coddington a start in goal.
