Millwall defender reveals his future plans after completing loan move

Hayden Muller is hoping to go back to Millwall an improved player after joining St Johnstone on a season long-loan.

The 19-year-old has joined up with Saints manager Callum Davidson, who spent eight months as the Lions’ assistant manager.

Danny McNamara, Isaac Olaofe and James Brown all spent time on loan at St Johnstone last season.

Speaking to St Johnstone’s club website, Muller said: “It feels amazing to be here.

“The seven-hour journey wasn’t the best, but I’ve heard a lot of good things from Danny McNamara and Callum. I spoke to them the other day.

“It feels really good to be here and finally see the stadium in the flesh.

“Danny Mac, Tanto [Isaac Olaofe] and James Brown have all been here. They all had nothing but good words to say about it so I’m really looking forward to it, it should be good.

“I’m a versatile centre-back that can play right side and left-side centre-back. I can also play right-back. I like to play out from the back and I’m also a really good one-vs-one defender.

“I’m hoping to gain lots of men’s football experience because I haven’t really played in front of a crowd before, that’ll be new to me. I hope to develop and push on and go back to Millwall a better player.

“As soon as I heard that St Johnstone would be playing Europa League next season, that brought bigger attractions to the club because that’s amazing. If we can get into the Europa League or even to the Europa Conference League then that would be really good for the club and really good for me as well.

“As soon as the fans come back here, it will make this place 10 times better, because last season I watched a couple of the games and the fans could push this team on even more. I’m really looking forward to that.”
