‘To top one off at the Bridge in the same week as my contract renewal is certainly something special. It means so much with all the fans here as well.’

‘Last December during the season, I got thrown in there and didn’t really have a lot of time to work on it. This pre-season, it’s actually been a blessing the Euros happening for me.

“I had a lot of one-to-one time during pre-season to solidify and nail down that position, and get to know the ins and outs of it. When we went on the pre-season tour, it was really good.

‘I’m finally glad the time has come, it was a big reason in the contract renewal. I wanted to be a midfielder. I know that I’m best in midfield.

“You know as a player where you feel most comfortable, where you feel best and I feel that midfield is my home and I want to prove that to everybody.’
