00:00Back at Elgin City and back with a bang, a second-half performance and a hat-trick,
00:03you must be delighted to be back in the scene?
00:06Yeah, I'm just happy to be playing again for this season. It's going to be a big season for me.
00:12I just want to start off well, play my games and hopefully have enough today
00:16to come for the start of the season.
00:18Well, you've got good memories of your time at Elgin from the second half of last season,
00:21on loan obviously. You really clicked with the team and there's obviously something
00:24about the club that's made you come back?
00:26Yeah, especially after my experience at the first club I signed for. Elgin have done everything
00:31in their power to make me feel welcome, make me feel at home. It was quite tough for me mentally
00:36last season for the first half and the second half I did. I would have liked it to have gone better,
00:42but after three or four weeks, I pulled my hammy and still continued to play,
00:47but I just wasn't at my 100 per cent. So, I'm happy to come back and show what I have to offer.
00:54You look very fit just now. You've obviously been taking care of yourself over the summer.
00:58I don't know about that. I'm just after a 10-hour car drive. I drove all the way up
01:01from London today, stuck in traffic for three hours. I'm just happy to be playing and enjoying
01:08it. That's the most important thing for myself. If I'm enjoying it, I'm playing well.
01:13It was almost a first touch I think you scored, was it?
01:15Yeah, first free ball in behind and I managed to get a shot off and scored.
01:20Yeah, it's only pre-season. We take each game as it comes. I'm just looking to build my fitness
01:25and just get back in. I know we've got a few new boys that have signed and just
01:30getting gelled and ready to start the season off very strong.
01:34Obviously, Algen pulled away from the bottom of the league in the second half of last season.
01:36Is there a feel now that there's an even stronger group of players here now to go and push on
01:41towards the top?
01:41100 per cent. I can see the ambition from not just Steph and Alan, but also from the
01:49chairman to really push on and put Algen on the map. I don't want to speak too early,
01:55but I'm looking to go for it, so we'll see what comes.
02:00Your goals could be a big part of that push up the table?
02:02Hopefully, man. Hopefully. I just want to get results because of our bonus,
02:06but as long as we're winning games and we're playing at the top end of the table,
02:10that's what I'm looking for.
02:11The Algen fans really took to you in that second half of last season. You became one
02:14of the fan favourites. You're building up a good relationship with those fans.
02:18Some of the numbers I was getting at the home games was crazy, so credit to them.
02:23They're going to be a big part of our season. The more, the merrier.
