Chelsea goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe is enjoying his loan with Havant and Waterlooville.

Sharman-Lowe made the move in January as they seek a play-off berth in the National League South, the sixth tier of English football.

"I'm loving it," enthuses Sharman-Lowe, who turns 20 next week, to chelseafc.com.

"It's so good. It's what I needed. I needed to get out and play. The games are fun, training's fun. The dressing room is a lot more real life. I wanted to be in that men's environment again.

"I knew the level was still good. A lot of people look down on it because it's called non-league, but the level of football is still really good.

"There are a lot more decisions, a lot more crucial decisions and game-deciding moments which I'm learning about at the minute. You come into your own when you have to make senior decisions quickly, and a lot of them per game. You can't replicate that in training. That's why it's crucial to get out and play and be put in those stressful situations.

"If we get promoted, some of the players might not have to do their other job," he adds.

"It means a lot to everyone at the club. I feel that good pressure, but responsibility to try and get in the play-offs and hopefully get promoted."
