“I’m finally here, so I’m really happy for me and my family – it’s a good moment,” said Smith Rowe.
“I’m really excited, I just wanted to get here as quickly as possible so I could get going with my teammates.
“Listening to the project, speaking to the manager, and seeing what players we have here already, I think it’s an exciting project for me, and definitely the perfect step for my career going forward,” he added.
