Millwall's summer arrival Jenson Metcalfe says he's settled quickly at the Den, drawn by a hunger he recognises from his own recent past.
The 21-year-old joined from Bradford City this summer, having endured play-off heartbreak with the Bantams last season. Millwall suffered a similarly painful end to their own campaign, falling short in the play-offs, and Metcalfe believes that shared disappointment has fuelled a determined mood within the squad, according to the BBC.
The forward feels the experience of losing at that stage has left a mark on the Lions dressing room, with players eager to go one better this time around. Metcalfe's move represents a step up in level, but he says the environment at Millwall feels familiar in terms of ambition and desire to succeed.
While the BBC report doesn't detail specific comments in full, it's clear Metcalfe sees the club's competitive edge as a natural fit for him early into his Millwall career.
