'There's still a while to go but I'm happy with where I'm at. At this stage, I couldn't ask to be in a better place and everything just seems like it's clicking into place.

'I've got time to practice some things that I need to, so I'm happy.

'The fans...have always been on my side since I've been injured. Now I'm looking forward to coming back and showing them what I really can do.

'I believe they've seen a side of me at Crystal Palace and I'm sure I can provide that side but even better.'
