“I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to play in front of these amazing fans that I’ve heard so much about.
“I would say I’m quite fast and skilful. I am fit and ready to play so hopefully the fans will quickly see what type of player I am.
“I’m an offensive player so hopefully I can contribute with assists and some goals as well.”
