Potter fits our plans - Warne

Last updated : 15 June 2017 By Millersmad

Speaking to the clubs official website themillers.co.uk, “I think Potts is an ideal fit for us, I want someone who can control the pace of the play and someone who will allow the front five or six to really attack. He's the perfect fit for me and I think if I could have signed him five years ago, I would have. He's an experienced pro that's played loads of games and he's a really good character."

“When I spoke to Richie about him he said he's one of the best pros he's ever worked with and you can't get a better commendation than that, because Richie sees the bad in everyone!"

“He definitely buys into what we buy into because he's worked with Richie for years and he was happy to come back. He had a big part to play in getting him to come here because I know he had a lot of options but I know he enjoyed working with him and what he believes in, which fits in with my philosophy.”

“I don't want it to feel like a youth club, but I want to get young, athletic players in and I've said that from Day One, but you have to have a platform to play, I think he'll be a good, stable part of the team. I want pace and power but I also need a bit of football guile and that is definitely what he brings. He's been involved in promotions and I just think if you look at his playing record over the years it's hugely impressive."

“He looks after himself in the right way and I think he'll have a great career here, I think the fans will love him when they see him play."

“While we have some experience through the skeleton of the team, the most experienced lads we have got are Woody and Frecks. After that there are pockets of appearances here and there but most of them are really young lads and under 25. I think he'll be a good influence there and will allow Frecks to bomb on and he'll be able to help Vaulks."

“It's taken a long time to get through, but I'm really pleased it has and it's a great addition for all of us."
