“I am delighted that I am extending my stay here for another year, For me if next season could start tomorrow that would be great. I'm really raring to go.
“I feel now that I have a year to prove myself because obviously this year I have virtually been out all season. Whilst I’ve been out, I’ve grafted, I’ve worked hard and that will continue during the off season now so I can come back fitter and stronger for next season."
“Playing 90 minutes was a big boost on Sunday. The knee feels strong now, I feel strong, and I also feel like I'm improving technically. I am looking forward to the next season, and hopefully there is some success to follow."
“It was really unfortunate for me that the season had to end so soon. That was my first 90 minutes in over a year so I did start to feel it a little, but it was a big step forward and I now need to ensure that I build on the progress made.”
"It won't really be a break for me, There is plenty of work to do. I will be back in the gym almost straight away to continue with my strengthening programme, because I know that if I don't I will be struggling to get back. That is my main focus now, I have to keep myself ticking over so that when I come back I'm ready for whatever pre-season has in store."
