Former Liverpool fullback Connor Randall is determined to make the most of his move to Bulgaria.

The defender has signed for Arda Kardzhali after coming off contract at Liverpool over the summer.

He told LFC Stories: “It's tough for lads who are out of contract. You're working hard but nothing is set in stone. You're looking for your next job. It can be a difficult time. A lot of lads are in the same situation, looking for clubs, and there are only so many that can be taken.

“When [the offer from Arda] came up, I had a call about it. They wanted me to sign. I came over and spoke to the club. It was exciting, a new, fresh challenge for me. You come out of your comfort zone a little bit by moving abroad.

“It's different, but I think I've settled in well. A few of the lads speak English, and I'm trying to pick up a few words in Bulgarian. Not many of the lads understand the Scouse accent here, so when I speak English, it doesn't really translate well – I'm going to have to pick up on my Bulgarian a bit."
