We have another important game coming up which we're excited for, so we have to take this belief into the next game..
Coming onto the pitch you can hear the fans, you have this feeling inside you that you cannot explain. It was a long nine months, I am so excited to be back.
I just need to help the team as much as possible, this is an important stage of the season. We have to carry on, fight, I had to help in defence today and that's what I'll do for the team."
