The Welshman has played for 10 clubs in his career including spells at Walsall, Macclesfield Town and Wigan Athletic.
"The last four months of the season couldn't have gone any better, so to come back and it properly in the league now – it's really good," he said.
"I think we have the ability and the team cohesion to do really well in this league.
"I think we can really push, I think we'll surprise a lot of teams, and that's my ambition – to continue the upward trajectory of this club."

24 degrees – the Black & Yellows looking forward to Atlanta
It was a step forward. 'With the ball, definitely,' said Julian Brandt in an interview with BVB-TV, going on to add: 'The big flaw was our finishing.' It had been very different on Saturday in the 4-3 win against Sundowns. While the chances created corresponded to 1.72 expected goals, clinical finishing resulted in four goals, a narrow 4-3 win and three important points. The opposite was true against Ulsan: Daniel Svensson's goal in the 36th minute was enough for a 1-0 win and the three points needed to win the group. The quality of the chances, resulting from 28 shots on goal to 3, should have led to 3.42 BVB goals. 'We could have put ourselves in a more comfortable position earlier,' said Brandt. 'Nevertheless, the lads did well, especially in thwarting counterattacks. We won the group and we're in the round of 16. That's all that matters.' Niko Kovac took a similar view at the press conference. 'I'm glad we managed to create significantly more chances than in the first two games,' said the head coach. 'We controlled the game and created good opportunities. In the second half, the temperatures contributed to us trying to wind the game down. All in all, we can be satisfied. We improved compared to the first two games. Now we're in first place, have an extra day to rest and then travel to Atlanta to play in a beautiful stadium.' Inline Image First place means one more day of recovery and preparation time. 'Especially when it comes to the strain of travelling,' says Brandt. 'We're always flying back and forth for a day. Another plus point is that after two matches at midday and one at 15:00, Borussia Dortmund can now avoid the intense heat. Kick-off in Atlanta is at 21:00 local time. The forecast is for 24 degrees Celsius when BVB take on CF Monterrey, who finished second in Group E, on Tuesday evening (Wednesday, 03:00 CEST). The Mexicans drew both their matches against Inter Milan (1-1) and River Plate (0-0) and won their final group match 4-0 against Urawa Reds from Japan. Three goals were scored between the 30th and 39th minutes. Advertisement On the flight back from Cincinnati to their base camp in Fort Lauderdale, the Borussia players watched the two games in the other group 'and then followed the final minutes of the game together in the hotel,' sporting director Sebastian Kehl told kicker: 'Now it's onto Monterrey on Tuesday evening in Atlanta, a team Borussia Dortmund have never played against before. We're up for it, we're taking on the challenge – and we're determined to progress to the next round.' Daniel Svensson believes the team can do it: 'We have to try to keep the tempo high throughout the game.' Given that Atlanta will have temperatures more akin to those in Europe, playing at the usual tempo shouldn't be a problem...

4 former Steelers poised for huge 2025 seasons including Justin Fields
The Pittsburgh Steelers took a huge risk this offseason by completely gutting out their skill-position players from top to bottom. Quarterbacks Justin Fields and Russell Wilson are both set to start for other teams, running back Najee Harris as well and wide receiver George Pickens now gets to line up with an elite running mate at receiver. Ultimately, how these four players perform in relation to their replacements will go a long way in terms of public perception of the job head coach Mike Tomlin has done. Let's break out the positions these four find themselves in. Quarterback Justin Fields Fields got a raw deal in Pittsburgh. After going 4-2 as a starter in 2024, Tomlin chose to bench Fields in favor of Wilson, which ended any opportunity to re-sign Fields. Now Fields is the new starting quarterback of the New York Jets and has some excellent weapons around him and a coaching staff willing to tailor things around his skills. Quarterback Russell Wilson No one expected Wilson to come in and win a Super Bowl. But after missing the first six games with a calf injury, Wilson returned last season and started off hot. But after going 6-1 in his first seven starts, the wheels fell off and the team crumbled down the stretch. Now, Wilson is set to start but compete with rookie Jaxson Dart to run what is set up to be an explosive Giants passing game. Running back Najee Harris When Harris signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, we immediately felt like this was the best thing that could happen to him. We love Harris as a player and never felt like he was the best fit in Pittsburgh and didn't have the offensive line to help him be successful. Now, even with rookie Omarion Hampton with the Chargers, Harris is in a great spot to be a much more effecient runner, even if he isn't the full-time starter. Wide receiver George Pickens We hated to see the Steelers trade Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Even with all his issues, we felt like having DK Metcalf on the team as well as Aaron Rodgers to be the offensive leader would have been great for him. Now, he goes to a near-identical situation with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to push his game to the next level.
