If I’m as a right-back, if I’m a centre-back, or if I’m a striker, I just want to go and play.
I am fortunate enough to have a quality that I’m comfortable on the ball and I’m confident in my own abilities. I’m not shy where I have to go and play. I want to be in centre-midfield, and I know that I’m good enough and I ‘should’ be playing there, but it’s all about the team and that’s what you have to put first.
” “Although I’m a full-back now at the minute, I’m playing inside as well, so I’m still getting a chance to get in the box and a chance to go and score and assist and things like that. I wouldn’t say that I’m a defender. I’m a full-back/centre-midfielder, you can say.
I just enjoy playing. I’m a lad that any time I get a chance to have a ball at my feet, my eyes just light up. I just end up with a smile on my face.
