The midfielder started his first game of the campaign at the weekend putting on a player of the match display in a 1-0 league victory over St Johnstone.
Speaking to the media as the Gers prepare for a quick turnaround as they gear up for a midweek home clash against Kilmarnock tomorrow evening, he commented: “It is definitely good, just a nice feeling pulling the shirt on again.
“Having competition again so I just love every second of it so it is good.
“I have been around professional football for a while, even though I am 26 I think I am in my 10th season right now professional so I know in football that everything changes quite quick, from good to bad and bad to good.
“I was trying to control my environment and what I could do and be prepared for the next day and whatever the next day would have been I was ready.
“I am just happy right now that I am back and I am enjoying my football and every second of it.”
“My responsibility is to come and do my job as a number 10 for this football club.
“I know what I can do and that is to step on the pitch and play my best football and be as creative as possible.
“I am not talking about assists or goals I am just talking about creating and giving different dynamics to the team.
“I know what I can bring to the table, I showed it in the past for this football club and I am just happy right now that I am back in the mix and I can do that.”
The Romanian international spent time involved with B team for the Light Blues earlier this season and has paid tribute to the coaching staff and players for keeping him in the best condition possible.
He continued: “It is tough when you don't play football and I have been in worse situations than this one with my injury, being away for a year and not being able to play.
“Now I was able to train and play with the B team and shout out to them because they have been unbelievable with me for two or three months, just everything I needed to be ready and prepared physically to perform.
“They were open to it, we even had chats about different training and different exercises so it has been great.
“I have to thank them I have to thank the coaches and kids; they are so talented and they have so much hunger to perform and I have tried to help as much as I could with my experience and talking to them every now and then.
“It was a different experience obviously, but you want to play professional football so that is why I am here and I am just happy that I am back.”
