Nathan Aspinall has marked a brilliant Premier League run reaching the play-offs in his debut campaign and after achieving that milestone, he reflected about how 'proud' he is to be part of the line-up.

Aspinall has said that while he needs to keep his emotions in check, he cannot take away from the achievement.
"I can't explain how proud of myself I am and how happy I am," said the former UK Open champion.
"To produce my best stuff when it really matters shows the type of player I am. I was due a good night on my finishing and I had that tonight - the 170 was huge and the 124 was special.
"I knew I needed a draw and you saw my reaction when I got to seven how much it meant to me. It was pure emotion.
"I tried not to let the occasion get to me and I tried to stay focused, but what an achievement so early in my career.
"All I can take is positives from these two weeks. I've put my family and friends through the ringer in the last two weeks and I'm so proud.
"I've been written off quite a few times but I know where my game's at and I believe I'm in the top four in the world when I'm on my game."

For 'The Asp', his aim like the other players involved in the season ending finale is to walk away with the trophy which he said would be 'life-changing'.
"I love the game and I want to win the Premier League," Aspinall continued.
"In the Play-Offs the other three players have six World Championships between them and then there's this lad from Stockport! There's a massive prize at the end of it and it's another life-changing moment.
"I want to win it and I think I'm ready to do it."
