Harry Davis admits he's not familiar with Scottish football.
But the central defender says he is relishing his opportunity at St Mirren.
The 25 year-old joined the Buddies on loan until the end of the season in a deal that just beat the transfer window deadline on Tuesday night.
And after speaking to players he knows that are plying their trade in Scotland, Harry can't wait to be a part of it all.
I'm delving into the unknown a little bit," he confessed. "I don't know a lot about Scottish football, but I wanted to come here. It's a great experience for me and a new chapter in my career.
"I spoke to Abdul Osman who is at Partick Thistle and he only had good things to say. I know Luke Hendrie at Kilmarnock as well and they only had good things to say about Scottish football and I'm excited.
"I'm delighted to be here. I'm still getting used to the lads names, but I enjoyed my first training session and it's good to be here."
The big defender has made over 200 appearances for parent club Crewe Alexandra and believes his experience of relegation battles with the Railwaymen will stand him in good stead in his time at the Saints.
I've been in this situation with Crewe so I know what it's all about down at the bottom," he said. "I want to try and help out. I'm out of contract in the summer so I've not just come here to get games. I've come here to help out and do my best for the football club.
"The aim is to play as many games as I can and do well. I want to be a success here and I just can't wait to get going.
"I've always known St Mirren to be a big club so hopefully we can get ourselves out of this situation that we're in."
When asked what Saints fans can expect to see from him, Harry said: "My strongest point is my reading of the game. I've played a lot of games so hopefully I should have a good bit of experience. You'll just have to find out when you see me play."
