“I said when I signed him that he could be, if he wants to be, one of the most influential players at this level.
“It is a mental thing with him. He has the ability and the physical attributes to be a very good player.
“With all due respect I think has been in an environment for a couple of years that’s been a comfort zone. We have had to nail that out of him.

“He is understanding now he’s got to run around. When he does it, he’s fantastic and I have been proud of him the last two games.”
