Speaking on the club’s website, Batchelor revealed that Peters has been making pre-season tought:

“It’s been really tough, I think he’s spoken a lot in the press about World Class effort and he said if we give that he can’t complain.

“Definitely think it will suit me, I’m going to keep working hard and trying to make it easier for the people around me.”

Batchelor is also very determined to have a big impact at the club in 2023.

He wanted to play every game and despite playing in the middle wants to play every minute too as he went on to say: “I want to play every week and playing every well and ideally I want to be playing 80 minutes every game.”

That said he showed his commitment to the club when he said: “But whatever role I play I’ll give it my all.”
