His final appearance for the club came in a 1-0 victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the Sky Bet League One play-off semi-final second leg.

“The manager has really sold it [the move] to me and showed me the plans for where the club is trying to be.
“I think I’m the kind of player that can try and help get the club to where I feel like it belongs.
“I would say I’m a box-to-box midfield player, someone that’s going to give 100% all the time and give a lot of energy.
“I’m someone who knows the league well and knows what it takes to get out of this division which can be difficult.
“I want to be a part of a team that’s going to be successful and part of a team that’s winning.”
