“I always had faith that I could play at a higher level but it’s taken a lot of hard work to get here. And yeah, I got some rough treatment - although I still get that now playing with Birmingham!”

“When I first got to Sheffield United, I thought I would be going into the development team or something. I didn’t realise I’d be straight in with the first-team squad. It was amazing.
“I learnt so much from training with guys like Billy Sharp. He taught me a lot about the dedication you need to succeed at this level.”
