He told TV3: "The manager told me that I was his first-choice.
"He gave me a lot of confidence from the first minute. In the summer you come to training, you don't know if they're going to let you sign up or not, I have children... speculating without knowing where you'll be, it wasn't easy for anyone.
"Being here at 33 years old is not easy and also playing. I try to make the most of all the opportunities that come my way. So many years playing in the Primera Division and winning titles would be a reward for the work done."
