An athlete with a rare combination of speed and endurance, Jack Hiscox is a champion 800 metre runner: however, he’s turned his hand to football where his few seasons within the Academy system have seen him flourish in an professional environment.
His pace and endurance is the cornerstone of his game, but that’s not all he’s got to offer. He is smart with the football, he’s evasive and he backs his speed and acceleration to create separation on his opponent.
He has terrific goal sense when within range, but he’s also clever enough to lower his eyes and hit up a leading target. Breaking the three-kilometre time trial record with a 9:18 run, while managing to record the second-best beep test result in combine history with 16.1, Hiscox’s endurance is unrivalled. Although he may take a few seasons to really come on and develop, he’s going to be a real find for the Swans.
