Looking back on his time in America he said: "Yeah the states went great. Obviously when I first went out there the team was new and it was a big challenge but once we had 20,000 fans at the first few games that made me feel more at ease and that I'd done the right thing. The team did great and we ended up winning the championship in the first year."
