“I think that Brad Friedel is an immense signing. I’m absolutely delighted and he’s already had an influence on the players in front of him,” he told the club’s official website.
“He’s talking them through things, telling them where to go. The start he’s made has been incredibly encouraging. Add to that the obvious fact that he’s an absolute quality goalkeeper,” O’Neill added.
“We went into this summer just looking to get a bit more solidity at the back. That was something we didn’t possess last year when we conceded a lot of goals. We’ve tried our best to rectify that.
“Defenders respond to a very commanding goalkeeper and Brad has definitely got that presence that you want at the back. He’s a very experienced goalkeeper and I’m delighted with the start he’s made.”
