I didnt need to look anywhere else - Pope

Last updated : 05 June 2009 By Bigrich.....

Speaking to the official site after signing, Tom told us a bit about himself and why he chose the Millers...

"I feel that Rotherham is the place where I can build my career so hopefully I can get some goals and help the club get promoted back to League One, My aim is to fight for a place in the team and if I get into the side, score some goals. We want to finish in the top three, that is the challenge we want to set ourselves and hopefully we can reach that target." he said

Pope scored 9 goals from 21 starts and 11 sub appearances in Crewe's relegation last year, and was the subject of intrest from other clubs wanting his services.

"Rotherham, along with a couple of other clubs were interested, but the Manager sold the club to me and I liked what I saw. I didn't need to look around anywhere else because this is the club I wanted to play for, The Manager phoned me and gave me a good report of what is happening here. Everyone is very optimistic about the future and I want to be part of it. We have heard about the Chairman's plans and I can't wait to get started." he said

"I am an honest and hard working player and I am willing to put a shift in for the team. I am not the strongest of players but my main attribute is scoring goals. If I get the chances hopefully I can hit the back of the net."

"Crewe is a great club and they improve you as a player, They never stand in your way and I have nothing but respect for them. However it was time for me to make a change and I feel that I have made the right decision."
