"I am very excited to be here and I want very much to help the team climb further up the league and even claim a place in Europe," he told the Xanthi official website.

"This is the first time I've played a team outside England and is a new experience for me, in that regard.

"I have a great impression on the infrastructure team and the way the people of Skoda approached me.

"The climate that I've seen here and the patience of people convinced me to accept the proposal."
