C# Picturebox not loading that is added in code

I have a procedure which draws in the player picture box, as below:

public static PictureBox drawPlayer(Engine.Tile location, Image looks)
    {
        PictureBox player = new PictureBox();
        player.Location = location.img.Location;
        player.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
        player.Size = new Size(50, 50);
        player.Name = "Player";
        player.Visible = true;
        player.BringToFront();

        return player;
    }

However, it is not working, it is called as such:

t.Controls.Add(drawPlayer(location, image));

Any help with this would be great or an answer as to why this doesn't work, I have temporarily set the colour of the box to yellow just to make it really stand out when it does finally decide to load.

Thanks,
Laurence

You need to use player.BringToFront(); after the control has been added into the form, as it does not exist on the form when you call this in the method that is making the PictureBox.
