He told the Liverpool Echo: Because I'm out here, it's easy for people to not see how I'm getting on.
The experience has been boss. It's not like I've gone on loan.
It's just like I take no notice of it because it's out of the way sort of thing, like the quality of the league and players. Every game is difficult. It's a fight.
I've also learned a different side of football because you came from Liverpool. You're obviously very dominant with the ball. Growing up with Liverpool, we've always had the ball when I played the academy. Sometimes over here, I've had to do the other side of the game a lot more.
So it's been a different experience for me. Obviously, as a local lad from Liverpool, I have ambitions to play for Liverpool. But I think at this time in my career, it was a good step to take. So far, it's been a good experience and I'm enjoying it."
He continued: It's different playing senior football. When I was playing for the Under-21s at Liverpool, we played some up games against senior teams. But coming over to this league, it's one of the best leagues in Europe.
You play some of the best teams, some Champions League teams, Europa League teams. Some big names, so yeah, it's been good so far."
