00:00Leeds United's Welsh winger Dan James has said that he tries to lead by example at the West Yorkshire club.
00:06He's just signed a new contract with Leeds United and said that as one of the more experienced professionals at Leeds now,
00:13he will try to help other players out as they return to the Premier League for the upcoming season.
00:19It feels strange to me to say that I'm a senior pro because I still feel really young.
00:24I think people still think I'm 18. Yeah, it does feel weird, but you do take a lot more responsibility.
00:31I think naturally I try to take more responsibility out on the pitch.
00:34I let the people who want to do the talk in the change room and I kind of try to lead by example on the pitch.
00:40But I think being a more senior player now, I have to give that experience for the players naturally and being maybe a little bit of a louder voice.
00:48But I think as I've got older as a player, I've kind of drifted into that role naturally rather than it being forced.
00:53We want to establish ourselves as the Premier League team now and, you know, we know how tough it is.
00:57But, you know, to have, you know, a little bit of experience in the squad makes us that little bit more to, you know, to push on.
01:03Absolutely delighted to extend my contract here. So, yeah, it definitely feels at home.
01:07It's an amazing club and, you know, I can't wait for the coming years.
01:10I've got a lot to give as a player and, you know, hopefully, you know, we'll go into bigger things.
01:15And Bradford City striker Andy Cook has spoken about his recovery from injury.
01:20Cook missed much of the second half of last season as Bradford City were promoted to League One,
01:25but now is on the comeback trail and excited to get back on the pitch.
01:29Yeah, it's going well. Obviously, it's been a long time.
01:35But now I've been just grafting away and just getting all of it and it's going well, yeah.
01:41It's been a long time for yourself, obviously, being in quite a lot on your own.
01:44What's that been like?
01:45I'll be honest, obviously, being so high after the promotions, you know what I mean?
01:49And then all of a sudden coming back in, it's been mentally tough, like challenging.
01:55Obviously, being in with a few, like not many of the lads and obviously the physios was challenging.
02:01And, you know, I did get through it.
02:04So there's that.
02:05But now I had to do it.
02:07I come in, you know, obviously working on my fitness, working on my strength and my knee.
