‘Ever since joining the club, I have felt comfortable in the environment, which makes you confident enough to push yourself to new limits and get the best out of you. I’m grateful and very lucky to be part of this community.’
‘Completing last season was significant for me as it was my first full season back since my surgery. Finishing as top goal scorer was a huge achievement, but I want to repeat that again this season – I forgot to mention, I am very ambitious!
‘But along with performing well, I have recently learned the importance of maintaining a positive state of mind. Holding a strong mental attitude is crucial and can take you just as far as being a talented player on the pitch.
‘I feel really fit physically and mentally I am in a steady place. My headspace is completely focused and filled with motivation.’
