He comes on in the 66th minute in a 7-2 win at Preston.

'I have worked hard for that all through the summer.

'That is what my goal has been. Playing for the reserves is a step up from training and hopefully, in a few weeks time I will have had some more reserve games and be able to make the step up to the first team.

'The first half I felt okay but I started to get a bit tired 15 minutes into the second half, which is why I came off.

'I just need a few matches under my belt, although I think I could have played all night and not scored.

'But my movement was okay and I just need to build up my strength a little bit.'
