Winger looking forward to working with Boro boss

BORO new boy Jennison Myrie-Williams says the opportunity to work with manager Graham Westley is one he is relishing.

The winger joined Boro this summer after a spell north of the border with St Johnstone to boost Westley’s options on the left wing ahead of the new npower League 1 season.

Myrie-Williams has enjoyed two run outs so far this summer playing in Boro’s 1-0 wins over both Hitchin and Fulham and the former Bristol City man says he is looking forward to improving as a player under the tutelage of Westley.

When asked what it was that attracted him to the Lamex Stadium, Myrie-Williams stated: “The manager; his drive, ambition and belief for the club and his belief in me.

“He’s the sort of person you want to work under, he’ll drive you to be better; he’s never happy even if you’ve had a good game he’ll still find something that you need to do better and that’s the mentality you want.”

The 23-year-old saw a move to Oxford United fall through back in January because he’d already played for two different clubs in the same season leaving Myrie-Williams desperate for the new season to get underway.

“I’m really enjoying myself and I’m happy to finally be here,” he said.

“I’m just happy to be training and playing and getting to know the boys.

“Obviously it’s always a long summer but I’m definitely finding my feet now and getting to know the players and knowing what they’re going to do. They’re a great group of lads - they’ve all made me feel welcome, they’ve all helped me lots and the manager as well.

“I’m going to treat every game as a cup final and I’m really looking forward to the season.”
