"Hopefully, he will force his way into the team pretty soon. He's back-up to Michael (Ikiekwe), Woody (Richard Wood) and Semi (Ajayi) for now.
"The deal is excellent for us. He's at the right age, an age where he can improve. I'm trying to get players who are going to be here for two, three, four years."
