"I can't wait to play and hopefully do well for the team."

Marriott made his comeback as a second half substitute in Wrexham's 2-1 defeat at Shrewsbury Town and was on the bench for Thursday's 1-1 draw at home to Birmingham City.
"I'm really grateful that the Club have agreed the deal. I'm really pleased to extend my stay here and it's a really happy time for me and my family," Marriott said.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: "He's come back in really good shape and that's a credit to him and the medical team as well,"
"Of course a little bit more work is needed to get ready to start a game but each day he's looking stronger.
"Jack got five goals early in the season and he was really on top of his game.
"It's like having a new signing – he's fresh, he's ready and he's determined to play his part."
Marriott began his career at Ipswich Town before a move to Luton, where he was the club's top scorer in his first season.
Moving to Peterborough, he scored 27 goals in League One during the 2017-18 season, before reaching the 2019 Championship play-off final with Derby County.
He returned to Peterborough in 2021 and then joined Fleetwood in January 2023.
On Mendy, Parkinson added: "We're pleased that Jacob has signed a new contract with us.
"He's had a tough time through injury, but I believe we're getting him back to his best."
