00:00I know you had the opportunity to go elsewhere in this division, so why the Blades?

00:04I think it's a massive club. I've played here a few times and playing at Bramall Lane, the atmosphere is incredible.

00:14Where the boys are this year, going for a promotion, it's a no-brainer really.

00:19You've had a couple of great years at Ipswich promotions and playing regularly.

00:23Is that what you wanted to get back to, to playing regular football again?

00:26Yes, definitely. I had an operation in the summer, so I was hampered with pre-season.

00:33It's all about playing games and hopefully we can get a promotion again.

00:37You obviously know what it takes to get out of this league. It's such a tough division,

00:41but I imagine it's very rewarding when you can succeed in it.

00:44Yes, I think it's a tough league. Anyone can be anyone on their day.

00:49I know what it took last year, so hopefully I can bring that experience.

00:54I'm young, but I've been there, so hopefully we can do that this year.

00:58What did Chris Wilder say to you when he brought you to the club?

01:01He mentioned that really. I'm young, but I've got experience in this league.

01:08I've been in a very successful team, so he wants me to bring that.

01:12I'm enthusiastic, so I'll bring that to the team and hopefully push on.

01:18You know people here, don't you? I'm thinking Tyrese Campbell, Kiefer Moore,

01:21Harry Souza, who was here too. Did you speak to those guys?

01:25Yes, I rang Kiefer. He said he gave me a good word with the boss.

01:32I spoke to Ty and he said it's great. He said the lads are brilliant.

01:36It's a great place to be. I can't wait to get going.
