Speaking to the club’s media, Doak shared his intention of doing as much as possible throughout pre-season to be involved at senior level.
“It’s a good feeling, it’s my first one as well. It just feels really good to score in front of all these fans. I just tried to do my best and prove myself as well...Of course, I want to play as many games as possible. The more games you play the more ready you are to stay in the game as a whole. I’m just trying to make a career for myself, hopefully at the highest level.”
