Ipswich Town striker has thanked Hartlepool United for making him a better player following his month long loan to them.

Dean: “I have enjoyed myself at Hartlepool, the time has gone quickly and that's because I have enjoyed it so much.

 

“I have enjoyed playing in the team but also the football that we have been playing.

 

“You always hear that teams in the lower divisions are all about long balls but I have learned there is a lot of football played in this division and that has helped my game. Hartlepool try and play and that has been good for me.

 

“As a young striker, I am trying to learn my trade and I have learned a lot in my time here both in training and during the games.

 

“Hopefully I can put what I have learned into practice and it will pay dividends.'

 

“I will have fond memories from my time here - this is where I scored my first league goal and that will stay with me forever.

 

“The fans were great with me and I want to thank them for that.

 

“Their support has been great and I think they see that even though it hasn't been going for the side, the players are all working really hard and trying to do their best.

 

“We haven't been getting the breaks but I believe that it evens itself out over the season and hopefully it will come.

 

“It is back to Ipswich now and I want to try to get myself in the frame there. Hopefully I can reproduce some of the form I have had at Hartlepool.

 

“I have had a taste of first team football and that is my goal at Ipswich. As a footballer, you don't want to be in the reserves.”
