Everything has been agreed at Chester now and I have signed a two year contract, which I am delighted about. I am under no illusions how much more work there is than playing but I have to admit that the long days have taken a bit of adjusting too!!

As a player you just turn up, train, go home and get yourself ready for the match at the weekend but there is a lot more to it than that for me now. There is lot of preparation is involved, a lot of homework needs to be done such as dealing with scouting reports, watching DVD’s of opponents and the preparation that is involved in any game takes up to a week before hand, if not longer.

Saturday’s trip to Grimsby is going to be another tough one. They have had an indifferent start but they are a decent team who love to pass it, which should suit us. We are away from home though but we know we need to pick up points away from home as well and I think it is going to be a decent football match.
