" It's nice to be here, just glad to be back really. I spoke to the manager ( then - Neil McDonald) last year and he said had been ringing Blackburn but not getting any response. During the summer they brought a few strikers in down there and I think it got to about seven strikers, so I went it to see the manager (Mark Hughes) and just said that it wasn't doing me any good being there and that it was really.
" It was difficult leaving, I've been at Blackburn about 11 years now but I think it got to the stage where I had to leave really and play first-team football, so that's why I left. The fans are brilliant, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to come back, the fans are brilliant, the people are nice up here and I enjoy it. I have targets, anything over 15 goals and I'll be happy. He (Danny Graham) is a good player, I worked well with him last year and that was another reason why I thought it would be good to come back because I think we'll do well together. "
