"You don't want to get too deep, too early on. I'm open to getting to know everyone, but as weeks go by, figure it out. I play midfield, so maybe I'd go for that. If someone walked in that was straight away my type, obviously I'd jump at it," he explained.George Knight is 28 years old and hails from Winchester.
