"I'm looking forward to the challenge. There's such talent within the squad. And obviously the gaffer’s come in now, he's making everybody a team - all working in the same direction to achieve the goal which is to be finishing as high as possible in the league and it's what the fans deserve, what the team deserve and it's what the squad quality deserves too.”
