Millwall Football Club's new defender Elkan Baggott is 'buzzing' for the start of the Championship season after a strong pre-season showing. The 23-year-old centre-back played 90 minutes in the Lions' 1-1 draw against Bromley on Tuesday evening, his first outing with the team.
What happened in the pre-season friendly?
Baggott helped Millwall secure a 1-1 draw against Bromley in their latest pre-season friendly. Ethon Archer gave the League One side the lead before Mathis Servais equalised after the break. The defender admitted the Lions were unlucky not to win but praised the team's overall performance.
How has Baggott settled into Millwall?
The former Ipswich Town player has quickly adapted to life at The Den. He signed a long-term deal earlier this month and joined his new teammates at their training camp in Spain. Baggott praised the changing room atmosphere, saying it made his transition smooth.
What's next for Millwall?
Millwall will face Antwerp in their final pre-season game on Saturday. Baggott is looking forward to his first proper experience at The Den, where the club has sold a record 13,000 season tickets. The Lions finished 3rd in the Championship last season with 83 points, 12 points behind leaders Coventry.
The club has also opened the North Stand to home supporters for the first time, adding 500 more season tickets. Managing director Mark Fairbrother expressed delight at the infrastructure upgrades, calling it a 'fantastic moment' for the club.
