Bevan bides his time to shine for Dundee

[BBC] Joe Bevan has had to bide his time at Dundee. The 22-year-old winger arrived on a two-and-a-half year deal from Burnley in January – going on to make just the five top team appearances for the Dark Blues last season. He has impressed this term though, starting all six of Dundee's competitive games, scoring three times and proving to be a real creative force. The Scot has really stepped up after two last season's key men - Cameron Congreve and Tony Yogane - returned to their parent clubs. While there has been a lot of focus on youth development and what we are doing right or wrong in Scotland - Bevan's journey to the top should serve as a real source of encouragement to younger players across the country. Just three years ago he was playing in the junior ranks at Camelon, before joining Albion Rovers. He was then signed by Burnley - who eventually loaned him out to Carlisle United - before making the switch to Dundee for an undisclosed fee. An unconventional journey to the top and proof that you can still carve out a successful football career even if you don't make it through what is regarded as the more tradition youth academy system. It is also further proof of head coach Steven Pressley's excellent eye for a player.
