Joe Rowley: I'm absolutely delighted

Latest Scunthorpe recruit Joe Rowley gives his thoughts on joining the Iron as he brings further promotion experience to the United ranks.

Firstly, when providing his thoughts on joining the club, Rowley expressed his joy to be playing in claret and blue: “You can tell by the smile on my face that I’m absolutely delighted. I was buzzing when I got the call to come and play for Scunthorpe United because it’s an opportunity you just can’t turn down."

Having played for the club in recent weeks on a trial period, Rowley gave his opinions on how he’s found the gruelling pre-season so far: “I feel really welcome, and it helps that I already know most of the lads anyway. I feel really good, and I’ve enjoyed working the gaffer and Schof (John Schofield) so far.

“We’ve done really well so far, and I think we’ve taken everything the gaffer has asked of us on board, so after two wins from two, I don’t think there’s much more you could ask for.”

When talking about what the 25-year-old feels as though he can bring to Andy Butler’s Iron side he added: “Hopefully I can bring goals when getting forward from midfield, and bring lots of energy in there. Hopefully that can bring assists as well.

“The goal has to be promotion and as a team we all know where we want to be by the end of the season, and we will be doing everything possible to achieve that for the fans.”
