Coventry City teenager defender Nathan Cameron has thanked and acknowledged his fellow defenders Richard Wood and James McPake.

The 18 year old City academy graduate has started every league game this season under new manager Aidy Boothroyd and has shown he can perform at Championship level.

Cameron has started ahead of his more experience colleagues Wood and McPake, although the latter has been playing catch up with his fitness.


Cameron (Pictured above) told the club web site, "They are great professionals and have been giving me as much help and advice as possible. They have given me a lot of advice on defending, how to communicate on the pitch and how to do certain things.

"Even when they are not in the team they always try to help the players around them."

Cameron spent much of last season on loan at near neighbours Nuneaton where he gained much experience and was a success. He praised the Liberty Way club for what they did for him.

"I was still in my second year as a scholar when I went to Nuneaton and it was a great 12 games I played," he said."I really enjoyed my time there. The fans were great and getting promoted as well as winning a cup was an added bonus."

"If you had told me six weeks ago that I would be starting the first four games of the season I don't know what I would have said to you.It has been a great start. The manager has instilled a lot of confidence in me and there is a great atmosphere in the dressing room."

"I want to keep on playing my game so the manager keeps picking me. I hope to keep on playing well and maybe earn a call up to the England under 21s. I haven't heard anything yet but I know Stuart Pearce was at the game on Saturday."

"As a team I think we are a lot stronger and experienced this year and with the likes of Lee Carsley and Gary McSheffrey, we can go as far as we want to."
