Nathan Patterson admits he gave no second thought to leaving Rangers for Everton.
The Scotland international departed the Light Blues for the riches of the English Premier League earlier this year in a big money move. But he was resigned to just one FA Cup appearance and was hooked at half-time in a debut to forget.
However, things have started much brighter for the right-back this campaign with Frank Lampard selecting him from the start and handing him the full 90 minutes in the two league outings with Chelsea and Aston Villa. The Toffees have lost both games as they bid to get up and running for the season but on a personal level it has been perfect for the former Rangers full-back.
Despite his lack of minutes at club level until late, Patterson retained his place in Steve Clarke's national team squad. He admits it was difficult to leave home for his new challenge south of the border, but he's enjoying his time and is now settling down.

He told Football Daily: "Obviously, it was different for me being at Rangers all my career and then moving away from home.
"It was difficult. But it was an exciting challenge, and I feel like I've settled in quite well.
"It took a bit of time to get to know all the different lads and the coaching staff, but I've enjoyed my time here so far.
"It was difficult (to leave), but I think it was quite an easy decision to come to the best league in the world.
"There was no second thought for me to be honest, and a massive club like Everton made it an easy decision."
