Defender Matthew Elsdon says he feels like he's been at Clyde for years, after signing a professional deal until the end of this season.
The 24-year-old initially signed on amateur forms, but has since been handed a contract by Bully Wee boss Danny Lennon.
Durham-born Elsdon, who counts Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Blyth Spartans amongst his former clubs, says he has settled into life at Broadwood and feels like he has been there for longer.
He told the Clyde FC website: "I can't believe I've only been at the club for a few weeks, it feels like I've played here for a few years!
"I'm settling in just fine and think I've fitted in nicely in the dressing room. All the lads are spot on and the manager and backroom team have been very welcoming too."
Elsdon, who was sent off in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cove Rangers, added: "A friend of mine has a business up here and knows the gaffer. Danny got in touch with me on the Monday before the Broomhill [SPFL Trust Trophy first round] game and invited me up to training that night.
"He wanted to have a further look at me so I signed an amateur contract so I could play in the Broomhill game on Wednesday, then agreed to come back up for the Alloa match on Saturday, and we've just taken things from there.
"I stay in the north east of England and travel up on the Thursday for training, stay over Thursday and Friday nights then go back down the road after the match on Saturday. I do a bit of coaching as my day job so I'm able to fit my commitments in around that."
Elsdon, who said that match against Broomhill was the first he had played since the end of December, admits it was a leap into the unknown with Clyde.
He said: "I'll be honest, I hadn’t heard much of Clyde before I signed! I had a loan spell with Inverness a few years ago so know most of the Premiership and Championship teams, but Clyde were further down the divisions then."
