00:00 Michael Goudewand, welcome to Leeds. You've been here a couple of days, how are you settling

00:05 in?

00:06 Very nice, I am very happy to be here. This is my first training session, so I'm very

00:13 happy to be with the boys and I can't wait for the other one.

00:17 I understand you've been a Leeds fan for quite a while, you've always wanted to play for

00:21 this club, is that right?

00:22 Yes, since I was very young I always wanted to play for this club. I wanted to play for

00:29 Catalans in the Dragons because it was a French club, but I always say if I have the opportunity

00:35 to go to England, Leeds is 100%. So I'm very happy, very proud to join this great club.

00:44 You've got some familiar faces here, Rich Hunwick and Justin Sangari, is that helping

00:48 it, making it easier to settle in?

00:50 Yes, Rich is helping me a lot. Justin also. I think without these two, maybe for sure

01:02 it's very hard, but now they are here, they help me a lot and that makes my life much

01:11 easier.

01:12 Thank you and enjoy your stay.

01:13 Thank you very much.
