How are you feeling?

I feel good, I feel good.

It's going to be my tenth season in the league now, so I'd like to consider myself a bit of a veteran now, but I'm happy.

I'm still going strong and I'm super excited for the season to start.

I've been there four or five years now.

It's like a second home.

I'm really happy there.

I've made some good friends.

It's an amazing club with even better people behind the scenes pushing everything in a positive direction.

So I'm very privileged and grateful to be part of such an amazing club and representing it week in, week out and trying to achieve success for the people of Sligo.

Absolutely, absolutely.

We'd be silly not to.

We got off to a bad start last season, which is not something we want to replicate this year.

But come the mid-season break and the window in the summertime, we brought in some quality players, got some great results, finished the season very strong and got out of trouble in the end, which was a big success and a big achievement for everyone.

We just want to kick on now.

We don't want to be down near the bottom again and we want to have a fast start this year.

That's the main objective going into the season.

It's difficult, obviously, a lot of defensive departures, but Shane Blaney coming back, what an unbelievable sign to get.

Unbelievable.

Shane's a great lad on and off the pitch.
