"He always comes in with a smile on his face and we know he's a great character and he'll be great with the young players."
"After speaking to the gaffer and [assistant manager] Connor [Smith], it's something that I wanted to do and we finally got it over the line."
"Dean [Brennan] just wants me to be me at the end of the day and get back to doing what I do best."
