Commenting on his new appointment, Ameobi said : ''I have been a player myself and understand how hard it can be, especially when you are out on loan.
''I think it's important that we have someone in charge of that who can help the player and the club in terms of strategy, why we use the loan system and how we can benefit the player through that system.
