In his first interview as a Sunderland AFC player, Bradley Dack has spoken about his connections with Tony Mowbray, and how he wants to prove Blackburn wrong after suffering some bad injuries in recent years...
PROVE THEM WRONG
"I had three really good years at the club (Blackburn), then two when I had a couple of bad injuries. I managed to come back from them and did OK but I still feel like I have a point to prove, especially to that club. And I have the perfect platform to do it here. I know where the club wants to be, it's where I want to be, let's hope we can take it forward."
MOWBRAY CONNECTIONS
"That's massively important in football. We got on really well in the five years I was with him. He helped me out a lot on and off the pitch. I can't thank him enough and it's nice to join up with him again."
MASSIVE CLUB
"It feels brilliant to be here. It's been a bit of a drawn out process, we've been in dialogue or a few weeks but I'm really happy to finally get it done and come and play for a massive football club. I think it's easy to see what drew me to the club - the size, the training ground, I knew a few players from my previous club and they only had unbelievable things to say about the club, so it just worked for me at this time in my career and I like to think it works for the club as well."
DEAL OVER THE LINE
"The conversations we've had in the last six weeks have all been positive. It's taken a bit of time to work a few things out but I'm buzzing we finally got there in the end and I can't wait to pull on the shirt."
PROMOTION HOPES
"It would have been almost like a fairy-tale to go back to back. It wasn't meant to be but there's definitely a foundation we can progress from. I'll be here to bring some experience to the team, hopefully goals, assists and try to help the young lads along the way. Who knows what can happen this season."
