"Everything is great. This is a new experience for me and I think it is going well. Not all of the players can speak English, but they are all good lads and the squad is great. We don't feel isolated at all, we are part of a team", said Spalvis in an interview this Tuesday afternoon.

For the 21-year old Lithuanian, pre-season is a chance to earn a place in the squad: "Pre-season is always difficult, especially at the start. We have four hard games coming up and I am looking forward to getting started."
