The 2020/21 Championship regular season came to an end on Saturday afternoon and a current Leicester City player rounded off his campaign in a promising way.
Starting in midfield for temporary employers Luton Town, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall equalised against Queens Park Rangers despite the Hatters going on to lose 3-1 at Loftus Road.
Following the match, Luton boss Nathan Jones suggested that he would be doing his utmost to bring the “magnificent” midfielder back to the club next season.
However, considering his performances throughout the campaign, Brendan Rodgers should certainly be looking to keep Dewsbury-Hall at the King Power Stadium and hand him first-team opportunities.
In 40 appearances for Luton in all competitions, the 22-year-old has scored three goals and notched six assists.
That form built on another highly impressive loan spell at Blackpool where the midfielder scored four goals in just ten league appearances.
Considering those two campaigns have been his only seasons within senior league football, his adaptation and progression has been highly impressive.

His eye for goal and offensive nature could certainly come in handy in the East-Midlands next season.
The likes of James Maddison, Dennis Praet and Ayoze Perez have all struggled with injuries throughout the current campaign, leaving Rodgers’ midfield attacking midfield options looking depleted at times.
Bringing Dewsbury-Hall into the fold would certainly strengthen the depth within the club’s current squad.
Whilst it might be harsh to expect the midfielder to cope with the demands of Premier League football immediately, he has already displayed his promise with the Foxes.
He has already been afforded a couple of first-team opportunities at the King Power Stadium; an FA Cup appearance against Brentford and an EFL Cup outing versus Arsenal back in September.
Following his excellent season at Kenilworth Road, he will surely be keen though to build upon those promising signs.
Rodgers must keep him around next season though and not let him leave once again if Dewsbury-Hall is to achieve that.
Even if he's kept around to play in a backup role, he could be unleashed in domestic cup games, or perhaps from the bench in league games. That could be better for his development than spending another year out on loan.
