James-Taylor scored a hat-trick in the Drogs’ 9-0 crushing of Wilton United in the FAI Cup last Friday to extend his total to seven goals in as many games in all competitions for the club.
The 22-year-old, who joined Drogheda on loan earlier this summer after his option year was activated, has also been nominated for the League of Ireland Player of the Month award.
Sadler feels his loan will provide the striker with a prime opportunity to fulfil his potential and hopes he can continue to build on his strong start to life in Ireland.
He said: “Douglas he been nominated for the player of the month award over there which is a testimony to how he has hit the ground running.
“We had a plan with him, a little bit like the Ronan (Maher) loan last year. The plan was for him to get some rhythm, play week in, week out, and try to fulfil the potential that we see in him.
“Hopefully he continues to do that because he has made a really good start.”
