"It’s an amazing feeling and I just want to keep pushing forward."

The youngster has proved popular with Doncaster’s fans ever since impressing on trial during pre-season.

"It’s a great feeling when you hear them chanting your name,” he said.

Hurst admitted to learning on the job in men’s football, including how to deal with disappointment.

After a strong start to the season, Doncaster have lost their last two fixtures in League Two.

He added: "I’m learning a lot. Getting beat is a horrible feeling and I never want that, but it’s all part of the journey.

"I know as a team and as a club our reaction is going to be perfect.”

Hurst said: "We know what we can do, we have shown that. There’s nothing to worry about, it’s going to happen.
