Jack Wilshere insists it was time to 'step out of his comfort zone' after joining Danish side Aarhus.

The Englishman had not been attached to a team since leaving Bournemouth last year.

"It all happened really quick," said the 30-year-old. "I had a conversation with one of the coaches, David Reddington. He explained to me about the club, how good it is and how much I'd enjoy it.

"He worked with someone I worked with closely, Roy Hodgson, who I enjoyed working with. I knew Dave would have a similar way of doing things. Then I spoke with the head coach and really liked what they were saying.

"I always said that in my career I wanted to try something different. I think now was the right time to step out of my comfort zone, step out of England and try something different.
