Speaking to the Official Club Website, the Republic of Ireland born youngster said: "The manager has proved that he is willing to give young players a chance in the first-team if they deserve it and I'm hoping to push my way into the squad.
"That's my target for next year, to get into the senior squad and the manager has challenged all the young players here to do that
"He's said the first-team is where you want to be and with the Club staying in the Championship, there is more of an opportunity for the young players to break into the squad."
