He told the Daily Echo: "I hope he enjoyed playing in the team that we are. I think they all do.
"Jan's a big character and he's a big bonus to have back. It was nice. He's a top player and as a character, he's one of the biggest ones in the group.
"I think we're in discussions with him now.
"I think he's very, very happy. I don't think he was very happy. Obviously, he left the club for a bit a couple of years ago.
"I think he's very, very happy now and we're very happy with him and hopefully, that means we can continue working together."
