“Coming here on trial was a great experience – it gave me a taste of what was possible and a realisation of what I now need to do.

“It’s a great group to be coming into – the Development Squad obviously won a couple of trophies last year and you can see in the first team the number of players making the breakthrough and establishing themselves.

“That gives an incentive to me and the others to put in the work and hopefully progress to that level.”
