Manchester United loanee James Nolan has spoken out on his time so far at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The 19 year old signed a new deal at Old Trafford a year ago but joined the Scottish outfit this summer in pursuit of more regular game time.
The defender has certainly gained valuable first team experience as he has played 17 games in all competitions and even scored his first ever senior goal in September.
Speaking to the Inverness Courier, Nolan revealed he is having a great time north of the border.
“I am loving it,” he said. “This is a really nice place to live. All the lads are top, the gaffer is top. It is a special club to be at.”
Nolan revealed that he has not been forgotten by United as he has phone calls “every week” with his parent club asking about his progress.
“They have been really supportive and I need to thank Manchester United and Inverness for the opportunity.”
He claimed that he is delighted with the fact he is gaining immense experience playing senior football as he had only ever trained with the United first team but never represented them in a match.
Elaborating on his experiences so far, “it has always been under-21’s football. Coming here has opened my eyes about how good the standard is and how hard it is to play the professional game that all kids dream of. But I am lucky enough to do that.”
Nolan has joined Inverness at a tough time as they find themselves ninth out of ten teams in the Scottish League One.
They were beaten 4-1 by Cove Rangers on Saturday and discussing the team’s recent form the United youngster stated, “it was a tough game, but it is one we can learn from definitely. We will come back on Monday and pick the pieces out of it.”
Nolan will next be in action when Inverness host Dumbarton this coming Saturday afternoon.
