GILES COKE (Mansfield)

There will be plenty of eyes from the higher divisions trailing the progress of attacking midfielder Coke.

Several clubs, including Watford, have already been linked with the 20-year-old who has yet to commit to a new deal at Field Mill.

He started at Queens Park Rangers but failed to earn a professional contract at the London club and moved into non-league football with Kingstonian.

He has bounced back from that setback to emerge as one of League Two's most promising talents.

Coke provides energy and drive from midfield and, although he scored six goals last season, he will be hoping to improve on that this coming term.
