"I am a fulltime pro. It's an okay contract, I have a right allsvensk salary. A really good Superettan pay one might describe it. (And you can) make it through to the A-League (where) the salary is much higher. ... There's a lot to do here (apart from) the football. You can bungee jump from the Sky Tower (and ) there are nice beaches too. It's sick beautiful scenery. Now it's winter but in summer it'll be sick nicely on the beaches so I'm looking forward. I'm glad I took the chance."
