I made the right decision to join - Broughton

Broughton impressed on trial pre-season and although he was allowed to train with other clubs that were interested, he's happy he decided to put pen to paper at Don Vallley.

In an interview with the Star, he explained: "Confidence is fantastic at the moment; everyone is in great spirits after the start we've had.

"I think it showed last Saturday. We didn't play well in the first half but we turned that around in the second half with a great display and won 4-1. We showed our strength of character.

"One of the main reasons I joined this club was Mark Robins. He's a hungry young manager. He's from the Manchester United school so he's very determined and I'm excited playing for a new young manager. We fancy ourselves to compete with anyone at the moment.

"If our run had lasted only a few weeks, then I'm sure some people would have said it was lucky, but it's not. It's lasted for a couple of months. We've had a brilliant start - and we want to continue that."

Broughton admits he joined with his feet firmly on the ground regarding the points deduction, but was quietly confident the club could turn things around.."It didn't faze me that the club was in a bad situation with the administration, I think if enough clubs were honest they'd admit they're not in great positions financially" he said.

"I wasn't short of offers in the summer but the closer the season gets, you do start to wonder whether you've made the right decision - whether you should have taken one of the offers.

"I'm really glad I went for Rotherham. I saw it as a great opportunity in my career", Drewe concluded.
