"There are a lot of forwards here. The competition for places is high. I'm under no illusions that I'm going to play every week - I've got to work hard and take my chance when I get it.

"We've got a great chance of getting promoted this season, we've got a few games in hand, and that'll get us right in the mix. It's good to join a club on the up."
