The former Manchester United trainee says he was surprisingly quick and has good movement for a taller player.

“I'm not just your typical target man, I'm quite quick as well and I can run at players," he said. “I'm decent on the ball and I want to take players on and excite the crowd. That's one of my benefits and something I'd like to do whilst I'm here.

“When a lot of people watch me, I think they're surprised at how quick I am and how fluid I am moving for such a tall person. That scares defenders sometimes, that unpredictability can be a good weapon to have, and I can't wait to get going."
