OWURA Edwards will draw inspiration from last season’s loan successes Regan Charles-Cook and Jo Hungbo as he looks to shine in Scotland’s Premiership.
The Bristol City loanee gave County supporters a glimpse of his explosive pace and ability on the ball in a second half entrance in Wednesday night’s 4-1 friendly victory away to Brora Rangers.
The energetic 21-year-old winger, now on his fifth loan spell away from Ashton Gate after extensive travels south of the border, is already loving life in Malky Mackay’s squad.
“From taking a look at last season’s campaign, the likes of Hungbo and Charles-Cook did so well and then moved on,” he said.
“It’s a great platform to come here and do well, and be part of the Ross County family.
“I have come here to make a real impact for the team and, hopefully, I can show the supporters what I’m all about. You could say pace is a real asset of mine. I always work on it during the off-season to get even faster and sharper.
“After my first game of pre-season, I think there’s more to come, in terms of my pace and what I can do with the ball. I will be looking to bring that out more in the next couple of games coming up.
“But it felt good to play 45 minutes and it will be another good test for the team and the lads on Saturday as we look to get our momentum going and hit the season running.”
Edwards is ambitious for the future but will treat his loan spell as if a permanent signing – and is enjoying the change of scene.
“I was checking maps to see where Brora was – and it turns out we had moved even further north!
“I’ve come here to take my career to the next level and I will be looking to do that this season. I can see in the players here last season that the Scottish Premiership is a very competitive league.”
