"Having spoken to the gaffer and a few people here, it's clear that this is a club that is progressing in the right direction and hopefully I can play my part in that.
"In Dean Smith we have a bright, young manager and having worked with Richard O'Kelly for a number of years I know exactly what he is all about and what he wants.
