I'm so relieved to be back to fitness as it's just so annoying to have those niggles because you have been out for so long.[LNB]"My aims for this season are to get matches under my belt for the reserves and if I do well there, hopefully I can get into the first team squad. [LNB]"I want to repay the faith the club have shown in me, if not this season then the season after."[LNB]
