Bristol City assistant coach Chris Hogg has heaped praise on midfielder George Earthy following the West Ham loanee's first goals for the club.

Earthy opened his City account in memorable fashion by scoring both of the Robins' goals in the recent 2-1 win over Middlesbrough.

Before Tuesday's trip to Millwall, Hogg said he had enjoyed working with Earthy since the 20-year-old's arrival at Ashton Gate in August.

"I don't think he's stopped smiling to be honest with you," Hogg told BBC Radio Bristol.

"He's a beautiful kid, a great lad, and he's such a pleasure to work with, the effort and the quality he brings.

"He's a credit to his parents and a credit to the system he's come through at West Ham with his behaviour."

Hogg also confirmed the Robins have no fresh injury concerns for the trip to The Den.

"The lads have been great this week and we're running as we were for the Millwall game," he added.
