JAMIE SHACKLETON is targeting a season to remember with Millwall as he aims for promotion with his temporary home.

The midfielder joined the Lions on a season-long loan deal, becoming the second Leeds player to do so after Charlie Cresswell.

Shackleton was part of the Leeds side that earned promotion to the Premier League and he is hopeful he can bring the same success to The Den.

He told Millwall’s Recast channel: “I’m delighted to be here, the whole process took a little bit longer than I’d probably have liked.

“I wanted to be here as quickly as possible, but ultimately it’s done now.

“I spoke to him [Millwall boss Gary Rowett] a couple of times before we realised it was the right decision for everyone, you get a good feeling.

“I like to get stuck in, get around and cover as much of the pitch as I can.

“I played in the Championship with Leeds and had a good season, we managed to get promoted – that should be the aim, to do that at Millwall.”

Millwall start their Championship campaign on July 30 at The Den as they welcome Stoke City to the capital.

The 22-year-old is excited to play at the stadium as a Millwall player, having only ever appeared at the ground as a visitor.

Shackleton said: “I can’t wait – it’s going to be an experience.

“I’ve played away at Millwall before, and the atmosphere has been pretty good. I can’t wait to be in the home end.”
