Good interview with Dujon Sterling. One to shove under the noses of potential loan signings, I think.


It was his time at Bloomfield Road that stands out for the 23-year-old. The details of a long-term, injury-enforced absence remain private, yet he can reflect on the impact that it had on him personally and professionally now that he has emerged stronger from the trials and tribulations.


"It was difficult, especially coming back because you lose that yard of speed and the power," Sterling said. "That’s me, my game. Everything is powerful.


"Trying to get back to it was difficult, it took a bit of time. It didn’t feel right at first. So I stopped and worked on it again.


"Then, going on loan to Blackpool, that was what got my confidence back up. Neil Critchley put trust in me. I’d been out the game for two years and everyone is thinking: 'Where’s Dujon?


"No-one had heard of me or saw what was happening. I didn’t let it out in the press and Chelsea didn’t either. When I went to Blackpool, it was one of the best times in my life.
