Speaking last week, he said: "I've already had a year in the Champ so I know what the league is about.
"Hopefully I can bring that experience to the squad and really push on this season. Me, personally, I feel fit, healthy and the squad feels fit and healthy as well. It's a strong squad.
"There's a lot of places up for grabs and each and every one of us will be fighting for that start, come Cardiff.
