“But it was a good experience, not just for me but for the whole team and that will hopefully help me throughout the season.
“I was playing against different people with different styles and against different countries and the way they play might be a bit different to the way we play.
“It’s just more about the stuff you learn when you play an international – it’s different to the Football League.”
