Tonkin signed on Monday for £150k, with the fee rising to £175k throught appearences, from Stockport County. He spoke for the first time since signing to CreweAlexWorld on the official site today.

"To be linked with Crewe I was quite flattered, so i spoke to the management at Stockport about it and asked what the situation was.

"A couple of weeks later I handed in a transfer request because I thought it was a massive, massive, opportunity

for me"

On the training, compared to Stockport:

"I think the training is a bit more relaxed, so i think I'm going to enjoy the training"

Finally, Tonkin saw the Alex beat Walsall just a couple of hours after signing for Crewe...

"I thought the game was really good, actually. The score line was abit flattering towards Walsall, Dean Ashton did have some good chances. I was really impressed."
