"Hayden Hackney, 21, Middlesbrough
Shortlisted for the Championship young player of the year award last season (which was won by Scott), the Redcar-born midfielder will hope to go one better and lead his boyhood club to promotion after reaching the playoffs last season. An instrumental cog in Michael Carrick’s side, Hackney’s ability to turn a game has caught the eye of Premier League scouts. He spent the 2021-22 season on loan at Scunthorpe, who were relegated from the Football League, but his trajectory has headed in the opposite direction and Hackney is now a fixture in England’s Under-21 squad."
