Trybull, who signed on a free transfer earlier this month, has previously played his best football in the Championship with both Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers.

While the midfielder has played in the top divisions in Germany and the Netherlands, it’s the Championship where Trybull feels at his best.

“The Championship is one of the strongest leagues in the world so you have to be competitive every three days. The games are coming very quickly so you have to be on a top level of your fitness,” he said.

“Technically you have to deliver and compete, which is tough, but if you prepare really well we have a really good chance to reach our goals.

“If you compare the Championship to the other leagues, it’s very technical in Holland and a very good league for younger players especially to develop and make your first steps.

“It’s a good league but the Championship is more physical and very strong. In Germany in the second tier it’s a little bit similar but in my opinion the Championship is stronger, 100 per cent.”
