“A lot of people recommended Linfield to me, and I was very impressed by what I saw when I was flown over and shown around.

I love playing football. I have been given an opportunity at Linfield to play football and be part of a team that is desperate to do well. I am looking forward to the challenge.

I have been made to feel very welcome in a very short space of time at Linfield.

I am delighted to get an hour under my belt in tonight’s game, because I’m a week behind in training compared to the rest of the squad. Once I get my fitness up to standard, I will be able to add some quality to my play as well.

We could have beaten Airdrie tonight if our fitness levels had been up to theirs, because they have been training and playing longer than us during this pre-season. By no means do I think they were better than us, and that is encouraging. I was impressed by the standard of the other Linfield players tonight.”
