[LNB]"City have been fantastic with us and they see this as an opportunity for their player to come in and help us, by giving us some depth in a key position. [LNB]"He is very similar to Paul Thirlwell in the way that he plays, and he definitely isn't shy when it comes to putting a tackle in. [LNB]"He also has a good range of passing, and we think he will fit in nicely with the way that we want to do things."[LNB]
