Hull City winger Thomas Ince is determined to prove himself Premier League class.
Ince had a tough spell on-loan at Crystal Palace last season before leaving Blackpool for Hull in the summer.
"It's vital for me that I settle here at Hull, these are a couple of big years for me," Ince said.
"When I got off the phone with Steve Bruce and met the people here and the rest of the lads I knew it was the place for me to be.
"Now I can find my feet, enjoy a good Premier League season and I have personal ambitions for myself.
"I want to score goals in the Premier League and prove to people and myself that I can mix it in this league.
"It's early days but it's a 38-game season - even more with the Europa League - so hopefully there will be plenty of chances for me to show what I can do."
