Everton defender Jack Rodwell is happy to have tasted Premiership action last season as a midfielder.
"Hopefully I will settle in that role next season because I'm new to it.
"Training with the first team brings you up to tempo with the game, which obviously helps your game and allows you to improve."
Regardless of position, the Birkdale born academy product is able to reflect on a thoroughly enjoyable campaign.
"It's been brilliant this season," he declared.
"I started with the Academy, moved onto the reserves but now I'm in the senior squad so it's been brilliant.
"On my first team debut I was nervous but hopefully more appearances are to come.
"At the time I didn't even think about it. I just wanted to get on the pitch and to play was amazing."
