Sheffield United’s David McGoldrick left Ipswich Town at the end of last season.
Sheffield United striker David McGoldrick says there is greater expectation of promotion at Bramall Lane after admitting he got too comfortable at former side Ipswich Town, East Anglian Daily Times reports.
“I maybe got a bit too comfortable at Ipswich, although I loved my time there. But we were mid-table every week and there was no big expectations to go out there and win every game, like there is at Sheffield United at the moment,” the striker explained.
“I never wanted to stop playing football. I wanted to be back doing it every day and scoring goals. I want to get promoted with Sheffield United and keep going.”
McGoldrick joined Sheffield United in the summer on a free transfer after his contract expired at Ipswich Town.
The former Nottingham Forest striker spent five years with the Tractor Boys and scored 40 league goals for the club, but the departure of former boss Mick McCarthy set in motion his exit from Portman Road.
New Ipswich manager Paul Hurst was allegedly not keen on the player, prompting McGoldrick to train alone last summer before joining the Blades on a short-term deal following an impressive trial.
McGoldrick, 31, has since become an important player at Bramall Lane, scoring 12 Championship goals in 28 starts as Chris Wilder’s men sit in second place in the table with just eight games remaining.
Ipswich, meanwhile, look set to end their 18-year run as a second-tier side as the Suffolk club find themselves bottom of the table and 13 points adrift of safety, winning just three games all season.
