Bolton Wanderers vice-captain Gethin Jones says Liverpool youngster Conor Bradley has taken all of his guidance on board and he has enjoyed linking up with the prospect as he vowed the Whites are 'buzzing' to be taking on Aston Villa.
Anfield prospect Bradley has had an exciting introduction to life out on loan at Wanderers. He has scored twice so far in his loan spell and has struck up a good partnership with Jones on the right flank.
Jones operates on the right of Bolton's back three, with Bradley in the wing-back role. The former Everton youth teamer has been passing on advice to Bradley in his early days at Bolton, which is his first loan spell away from Anfield.

Jones has loved playing with the youngster as Wanderers aim to respond from the disappointing weekend loss to Sheffield Wednesday when they take on the Villa in the Carabao Cup. It will be evidence to show why Wanderers deserve to be back in the Premier League one day, Jones believes.
He said: “He (Bradley) is brilliant and you forget sometimes that he is so young. At the start I felt like I was coaching him quite a bit because he is playing wing-back, rather than the full-back position he might have been used to at Liverpool.
“He has taken it all on board, he has been brilliant, and I have loved playing with him.
“We have always said we win or we learn. We won’t just give up.
“I think in the second half we were trying to get on the ball, create chances, play the way we want to play. It wasn’t as good as it has been, obviously, but we felt like if we had got that goal in the second half things would have been different.
“We just didn’t make enough
