New Blackburn<\/a> signing David Goodwillie<\/a> says he is delighted to have sealed a move to England and cannot wait for the Premier League<\/a> season to begin.
<\/span><\/p>\n


The striker, who completed his switch from Dundee United on Wednesday, feels there is an exciting season ahead for his new club.<\/p>\n

Goodwillie told Blackburn\u2019s official website: \u201cIt is a relief it is all done.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can settle down now and concentrate on my football.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is a massive stage to further my career, there’s no better place to play than the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up you always want to play in the Premier League and I’m delighted to be getting that opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is every young boy\u2019s dream to play in England in their career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has come a wee bit early but I’m very happy for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the 22-year-old, who scored almost 40 goals in just over six years with the Tangerines, is pleased to be part of the plans of Rovers owners Venky\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’ll be a really good season for Blackburn,\u201d said the Stirling-born forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new owners are exciting and they want players and I’m looking forward to working under them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now raring to go for the start of the Premier League campaign, Goodwillie feels he is at an advantage having already played in the SPL this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve played three competitive games this season already so I’m feeling fresh and ready,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve got Kilmarnock in a friendly match on Saturday so I’m really looking forward to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really can’t wait until next week to get the season under way and I hope it is a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goodwillie arrives for a fee believed to be in the region of \u00a32.8 million.<\/p>\n
