"The manager (Callum Davidson) really impressed me about his plans for the new season and I want to be a part of it.
"I think my style of play will suit what the manager wants to do. I like to create chances and also get into goalscoring positions.
"I can tell there is a real determination and desire to do well in the new campaign and it will be a collective effort to achieve what needs to be done.
"We all know it was a difficult time last season and there can't be a repeat of that in the next 12 months.
