"The manager sold it to me. I've had a few meetings with managers from other clubs, but as soon as I got here he has welcomed me and my family and the manager, Darren Ferguson, sold it to me.

"The club is very ambitious, with a very ambitious manager and I am at that point in my career where I need to push on. I am hoping that this is the club to take my career forward."
