"Settling in very well, getting along with all the boys," said the centre-back. "We've had a few good sessions now and I'm just enjoying the football."
The defender is also impressed with the quality of training under Maresca.
"It's only been a few days, but you can see the detail that he wants to go into. You can see how important every single pass and touch is. Everything's been with the ball so far. We've done a few runs, but a lot of passing drills, a lot of possession.
