COACH HAS LIT A SPARK AND NOW WE MUST ENJOY CAMPAIGN: JORGENSEN

Copenhagen and is earmarked for the big kick-off against Crystal Palace by head coach David Wagner.

The Denmark international, who will wear No25 in front of 20,000-plus season-ticket holders this term, explained: “We are against the odds and favourites to go down, or so I’ve heard.

“So we have nothing to lose and I think it’s important our players are not scared.

“It’s important we try to enjoy the campaign this season and see where it gets us, but obviously the main aim is to stay up.”

Jorgensen, who also played for PSV Eindhoven in Holland, has signed a three-year contract with Town.

Wagner explains what he brings to the cause.

“Matthias is a very complete defender, with great experience of being successful in every league he has played in (which served us well with the signings we made last season too),” said Wagner.

“His athleticism and football intelligence will be big assets in the Premier League, for sure, and he is a super professional character, which will fit in with our current group of players very well.”

With Jon Gorenc Stankovic ruled out until Christmas, Town needed the extra defensive option and Wagner went for international quality.

He met with Jorgensen in Germany and the player admits he was totally convinced by the boss
