“It was a nice experience; my family are from Bulgaria, and my family got to see me play for the first time live, which was cool.”

“I haven’t decided what country I am going to be playing for yet. I could represent England, Nigeria, or Bulgaria. I feel like I am good enough to play for all three, personally.”

“I’m taking it one step at a time. I’ve got to establish a place in the team and start playing how I know I can play. We’ll see what happens.”
