On-trial striker Adam Proudlock wants to take the chance Town have offered him and not let any one down while he’s here.

The 24-year-old striker will spend the next two weeks training with Town in a bid to re-start his football career after being sacked by Sheffield Wednesday last month and he has admitted that was a 'huge kick up the backside'.

 

Proudlock: “I have had the mishap of getting the sack and it did knock me for six at first. Luckily, my family and friends rallied round and have been very supportive.

 

“The first couple of days after the sacking I was in a bit of shock. It was a huge kick up the backside and really made me realise what I was throwing away.

 

“Anyone who gets sacked from any job finds it hard to take in and you wonder what is going to happen next.

 

“For me, it has been two weeks and now Joe Royle has given me two weeks to show I'm worth a contract and I intend to take it with both hands. Hopefully, I can do well and impress people enough to win a contract.”

 

Proudlock was sacked by the Owls for breach of club rules and he has admitted he deserved to be sacked but has denied rumours saying he was sacked for something very major.

 

He added: “I was late for training a few times and missed sessions because I had slept in a few times. I know that was bad enough and yes, I was in the wrong, but I have not done anything outrageous and certainly nowhere near as bad as the rumours.

 

“My mum has now bought me three alarm clocks to make sure I'm not late for work again.”
