Jordan McGhee says he was "taken aback at the quality" at Motherwell when he joined the club.BBC Scotland reported that the versatile 28-year-old had penned a pre-contract agreement with the Lanarkshire side in January, and officially joined on 2 June on a two-year deal."It's a long time coming," he said in a club video. "I stayed at Dundee the rest of the season and gave my all there and now to be here finally, is really exciting."McGhee has not only had to get familiar with new team-mates, but with a new manager too in Jens Berthel Askou.So far, the training has been "intense"."The boys and our staff are really working hard and taking on board the new ideas from the gaffer," he said."It's really intense, we're at a high tempo and we've worked on both sides of the game now - attacking and defending."Since I came in I've actually been taken aback by how good the quality was in training. "The players, obviously having played against them, their standards are excellent. "I'm a big believer in training the way you play and so far training has been outstanding. "I'm just looking forward to working hard and getting on the pitch with the boys and hopefully winning many games."On and off the field, it's a club that's always growing."If I can help on the pitch that would be ideal. On a personal note, I want to improve as a football player and learn different styles and adapt my game. "It's always exciting to change myself and just looking forward to getting started with it."
