Winger Lewis Young meanwhile has been backed to make a big impact in the game by his new manager.
"Lewis can be anything he wants to be - he's an exceptional player," said Aidy Boothroyd.
"If he believed what I believed he could be, he'd probably be playing at a much higher level. It's my job to get him to believe that."
