Town boss Mick McCarthy says left-back Jonas Knudsen has got better and better as the season has progressed and was delighted to see him net his first Town goal late in last week’s 1-1 draw with Fulham.
"I was delighted considering the circumstances, it was great,” he said of the Danish international. "Jonas has had a really good season.
"Jonas has been a really good signing. Considering we took £8 million in [for Tyrone Mings from AFC Bournemouth] and signed him for £300,000 [from Esbjerg Fb] that’s a pretty good deal that for me.
"He’s got better and better, he’s learning about the league, he’s a great character, a great pro.
"He has been getting closer [to a goal] and it’s been a good first season for him. He’ll get better now.
"It’s no surprise to me [that he’s done well] because of his personality. He’s a tough nut, he’s a winner, he competes like that in training. He’s great.”
Knudsen has made 42 starts for the Blues this season and was recently called into the full Danish squad for the first time since his move to England but didn't add to his two previous caps.
