He does not, though, believe that will stop him doing a good job for his new employers.

“I have to say I didn’t really know anything about the game here and I the first thing that struck me at Ross County was the pace,” said the 27-year-old.

“Everything was so quick and, at times, I felt we could pass better if we slowed things down a bit, but it was a game between two teams with many good players.

“I don’t know anything about Clyde and, for a time, I’ll be learning about the opposition when I see them. If last week was anything to go by, I’m expecting another hard game.”

One thing he does know is that having played on both sides of the Pond — he spent several years in Scandinavia — this is the place to be.

“Football over there has come on, but in America it still tends to be more about the show than the game, so when I got the chance to come over I was delighted.

“Between hearing Dundee were interested and arriving was only about two days and I was very surprised I could play last Saturday — I thought that wouldn’t be allowed in a league game.

“I’m very happy to be here, and getting things settled quickly is the best way so I can concentrate on doing my best for the team.”

As well as a learning process, the visit of the Bully Wee will bring him another step closer to full match fitness and, right now, Pozniak believes he is operating around 15% below full capacity.

“I haven’t had a pre-season like the other players, but I’ve been doing some fitness work and I should be 100% quite quickly. I know that Dundee are one of the favourites for promotion and I want to help them live up to that.”

As he looked forward to the first home game, boss Alex Rae demand the same approach that picked up those first-ever three points from Dingwall.

“In terms of endeavour and attitude, it was very impressive last week and I expect no less tomorrow. If I get it, I should be happy,” he said, before quickly predicting a tough 90 minutes.

“Last season, Clyde gave us a few problems and cost us points. They were able to raise their game against us and we have to expect that again tomorrow.”

Last week’s other trialist, former Sunderland man Darren Williams, is again in the squad and, later today, is set to follow Pozniak in signing a one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

The squad should also be bolstered by the return of Gary MacKenzie and Bob Davidson after their return to full training.

“They’ve looked OK and, as long as the don’t have a reaction, they will be listed — it’s still too early for Craig McKeown and he’ll be doing some hard running over the next few days to make up for missing pre-season,” added Alex.
