“I’m buzzing to be here and can’t wait to get started,” he said in his first interview with the club on their official website.

“I’m here to progress further and hopefully help the team achieve what they tried to do last year - promotion, which Scunthorpe narrowly missed out on. That’s what attracted me here.

“I think there’s enough talent in the squad to do that, so that’s what we need to be aiming for this season.”

Available to play at both the heart of the defence and left back, the versatile defender offers a lot to his new manager Nick Daws, and has promised to do whatever he can to help the team win games.

“I can operate at both left-back and centre-back,” he stated.

“When I’m at left-back I like to go forward, get on the ball and put crosses in. I like to put tackles in, blocks and clearances too.
