"As well as being a great team they are also a great group of people. Hopefully things will go well from the start."
He added: "I'll give the same as I always have for all the teams I've played for; sacrifice, desire and I will try to do things as well as possible and help all the time.
"It's a great club with great players and I will try to adapt as quickly as possible."
