KAI Andrews admitted his first Coventry City start was ‘a great experience’ after he impressed against Luton Town in the Carabao Cup.
The 19-year-old featured on the left-hand side as the Sky Blues secured a 1-0 against the Hatters at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
And while the teenager feels he best operates as a number eight, Andrews stressed his desire to help the team wherever needed on the pitch.
Andrews said: “It felt great to be out there in front of the fans.
“I think it was a really good opportunity for me to go and showcase myself on the pitch and I think it was just a great experience.
“[The manager said] just to go out there and express myself, play with the same confidence that I’ve had in training and just go and get myself about the pitch.
“I would say number eight is my favourite [position], but obviously I played out as a left winger.
“I’m really just happy to be on the pitch, so whatever position I’m needed then I’m happy to go out there and do a job.”
The Wales under-21 international made 11 appearances on loan at Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership last season.
And the midfielder felt the loan move helped him develop as both a player and as a person.
Andrews added: “I thought it was great and for my development.
“It was definitely what I needed to go out there and get as many minutes as possible under my legs and I think it was brilliant.
“It was a big difference from what I was doing.
“I was living at home with my parents and then I’m moving away to a different place, and I was completely on my own as a young kid.
“It was hard for me, but I think I dealt with it well and it just helped me to progress and develop as a person really.”
