 You've been a long road to getting to actually sign with the club, has that journey been through? Yeah, I mean it's kind of weird to finally be here, I think I've talked about it since signing, you know it's four years and they're making pretty much and obviously it was a nice start to get a win over your biggest rivals and obviously scored a goal and managed to have a little joke with JT, obviously better late than never and it's just nice to be here now and you know in such an important time for the club as well moving into the race for the finals as well so big win for us on the weekend and another six big ones to go You've been able to see kind of the facilities that we have around here and you've also been able just to see like the culture that's kind of like within the wonder swaths you're posting on that Yeah look, I think it's a great football club you know and the facilities here are absolutely second to none you know from the training ground, the facilities within it, the staff complementing it also you know it's just so professional, it's a proper professional setup here and certainly Bank West Stadium as well to top it off it's always a stadium that if you talk to any other player in the A-League this is a stadium they really thoroughly enjoy and want to come and play you know in obviously the atmosphere can make it difficult for other teams and we hope that's going to be the case at the end of the season but it's certainly the best stadium and without doubt obviously on the weekend being in the Sydney Derby the atmosphere was fantastic and hopefully we can have more of that before the end of the season Yeah and so you've kind of touched on the atmosphere aspect of the Sydney Derby the fans are quite loud, the fan base is quite active as well What's been your take on that and how do you feel that will help you going off because you could have an empty stadium and our fans travel, they go in and they're always loud and always back in Yeah they're a passionate crowd and I love the fact that this football club is so ingrained with its local community and what it means to the fans here, it's a club that touches the local community which is so important in football, we see it all around the world that that's certainly the case and Western Sydney is definitely the leader in football in Australia for that and all the community work that they do, you see it all the time on social media the boys do a great job and the club does also to connect with their fans and we've seen what the atmosphere can be like at the old stadium as well and the great times that this football club has had so for us it's about getting there again, getting to the finals and getting somewhere and giving the fans something to be excited about and pushing into the finals and if we can do that then as we've seen within the season thus far the league is so even at the moment out with Melbourne City you think are probably the best team in the league at the moment but when it comes to those finals it can be anyone's but we've got to get there first so we've got to win and take care of our games that we've got left and win as many as possible And what do you think that your personality and kind of your character will add to the locker room and what do you think you can kind of concur with? Yeah well I'm hoping leadership and experience and being able to bring that and bring some energy as well to the group for the next six weeks and I think that's probably why I've been brought in by the management and the coaching staff to give that type of experience and leadership on the pitch and just more or less echo what the manager and the coaching staff want as well and just try and help as much as possible we've got other great experienced players here as well so for me it was exciting coming here looking at the squad that is here and what they're capable of and especially at the front end of the pitch we're really exciting and if we can get that right like we did on Saturday night then we're really going to be a team to fear I feel You did talk about the experience and leadership that you can bring I've like written a lot of young players and a lot of young players coming up with our academy program and things like that what things do you think that you can add to those young players to kind of give them the leadership that you did touch on by the end? Just trying to reinforce belief and confidence I think that's important within young players I think psychologically now is a big part of the game itself and it's just reassuring them and giving them little pointers here or there I think young boys have done exceptionally well coming into the team this year Taz, Aquilina, Nata, fantastic to name a few and they're still learning the game so we've got to try and help them along the way and certainly within the pressures of the 90 minutes in the game itself if you can sort of just help them every now and again and give them a few pointers and relax them in the situation and I think that's very important as well and bringing that sort of type of leadership out in the pitch to try and calm things when it's needed at certain times and last question we are a team that kind of has a lot of depth when it comes up front and as Kai said on numerous occasions it's one of those things where you kind of have to fly for your place in the sliding team and how do you think that competition helps the boys and helps you as well? I think it's great I was going to say that I'm the one coming in but I look at it and any of the players that I look at if I get the opportunity to play with, I'm excited about and I think it probably brings a little bit more edge as well coming in this late another addition to the top end of the pitch every player wants to play, especially strikers they want to play, they want to score goals so if me coming in has helped to give a little bit more edge to that and a little bit more push that the manager wants then that's fantastic as well and I hope that certainly is the case and I think it is
