“It was a good feeling to get on the pitch, I’m looking forward to the rest of the season now and contributing to the team - I’m settled and I’m looking forward to getting to work on the pitch,” he said.
 
“I’m ready to get going as a Rovers player, I’m here to do well and this was the only place I wanted to come. It’s a great group of lads and they’ve really welcomed me to the group.
