Prior to his injury Kemp was playing in the midfield rotations, he was filling a Charlie type role for his team as a marking target and big bodied midfielder, and it was that duality of role that caught the recruiters attention. Although it was all clearly new to him, it wasn't like he was a career mid.
Fans often ignore things like growth spurts and Kemp grew about 8cm towards the end of his junior career, prior to that he was looking more like a Docherty marking defender type than Charlie mid.
Kemp has always been a reasonable ball user, I don't see him competing with Doc, SPS or Saad for the HBF role. So I wonder what will happen with Stocker, given our list changes he needs to get a wriggle on if he wants to feature! I think for Kemp and Stocker their best go is very closely aligned, sweeping the back of the stoppage and putting the ball inside F50 by foot, they are both powerful athletes.
