Day 58 – Derry City FC

Derry_City_FC_logoWoke up today for my last training with the lads. Because they had played the night before, the 11 starters did recovery, while the bench, myself, Dean and a new signing trained. It was a good competitive session for us all. I was happy with my play and made the same mistake a few times, so I am always learning and developing as a player. When I begin training next week, I will be sure to focus on that. I said goodbye to most the lads after training, with all of them wishing me well. It really has been a wonderful environment to be in for the last two months. The club was a great place to start my journey, and although it didn’t turn out the way I wanted with a contract, it served a great purpose, I developed a lot and I made some great new friends.

We eventually headed on home as I made my last meal, did my last bits of laundry and finished up packing. I knew that I could take two bags up to 20kg, however one suitcase is a lot bigger than the other. I will find out how much overweight the bag is when I get to the airport tomorrow!
