Midfielder Neil Maddison has hailed Darlington loan star Jim Corbett and believes the Blackburn Rovers striker is a class above in the Third Division.

The 22-year-old has made an instant impact with the club since arriving at the start of March.

And despite only scoring once since his arrival, Corbett has won many admirers since his arrival - including Maddison.

"He's quick, he never goes to sleep on the pitch and I think Jimmy gives you an extra dimension," said Maddison.

"When you look at some of the centre-forwards in this Division they're not sharp enough and they go to sleep far too easily.

"Jimmy's totally different. He's been brought up the right way at Gillingham, gone to Blackburn and you can see he's been taught well.

"He's always alive, putting defenders under pressure and for the back lads that takes a hell of a lot of pressure off you. He would be a fantastic signing."

Chairman George Reynolds has already expressed his desire to bring Corbett to the club on a permanent basis, along with fellow loanee Tom Newey, who has been just as impressive since joining the club until the end of season from Leeds. "Tom has been absolutely superb since he joined us," said Maddison.

"He's got an abundance of pace, a sweet left foot and in the first half against Shrewsbury it was just a case of feeding the ball to him because they couldn't cope with him."

Maddison, meanwhile, who is expected to leave to the club when his contract expires at the end of the season, has reiterated his desire to go into coaching when he finally hangs up his boots.

"When I feel I can't play anymore I'd really love to go into coaching," said Maddison.

"I've been under a lot of managers and I don't think I'm frightened to express my opinions.

"I think I've got a good view on the game and how it should be played.

"I have a good rapport with all the players at this club and I think it is something I feel I could do very well in."
