Tonkin has 2 medals to his name already and will only be turning 16 in June so will be hoping to add to this evergrowing tally.
 
September - December 2015

Tonkin has yet again been having a busy few months, now that he is a mainstay in the first team i dont quite understand why they make him play youth and reserve games as his status is always in need of rest at the moment.

He has played a staggering 48 games already this season scoring 29 goals and making 16 goals.
He has played 25 first team games with an amazing return of 17 goals he has 5 goals for the reserves in 8 games and 4 goals in 9 games for the under 18's.
He has played 3 more times for Scotland under 21's scoring just the one goal but with this recent form for Leicester surely a Scotland call up is on the cards soon or he still has chance to play for Wales.

I hope he gets some game time is all! I would have preferred he stayed at Leicester if they dont play him in the first team and i dont want him to lose his scotland spot just after getting it
