He told Doncaster Rovers media: "The lads and coaching staff have welcomed me really well. I came in on the Monday and on the Tuesday I was playing so there was no time to ease myself in.

“The lads help me a lot in terms of the timings of things I do. The coaches have made a good culture around the place and have a good philosophy of how we want to win games.

“I’ve learnt quickly how to fit into this group, and it is a good group. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together."
