Mark, how does it feel getting into the first team squad and getting your first player sponsorship?
It feels good I’m a Preston lad so being in the Preston first team is obviously a dream come true and I feel very proud that someone has taken the time out to try and sponsor me and I am very appreciative of that.

You made a good debut at Leicester, how do you think you are developing as a player?
I am trying my best all the time. It was good, a dream debut more or less, we won and I am looking to to try my best all the time.

What is Billy Davies like as a manager, what did he say to you before your debut?
He is a very good manager he is trying to install loads of confidence in me, he believes in me and he has also given me the chance.

As a Preston lad was it your ambition at school to play for the North End?
Yes, it always has been, playing in front of the Preston people, people I know.

If you were not a footballer what would you be doing?
I don’t know to be honest, maybe a fireman or a policeman, something like that.

Which player do you most admire and why?
I quite like Dennis Bergkamp, I like the way he creates space and creates goals as well as scoring goals.
