Winger Brennan Johnson says "anyone would be a bit stupid" to think they can join Everton and play every week having been named in just half of David Moyes' Premier League line ups so far this season.

The 25-year-old has played 411 minutes out of a possible 900 in the top-flight since leaving Crystal Palace in August in a straight swap deal with Dwight McNeil.

"I'm really enjoying it," Johnson told BBC Sport Wales about life at Hill Dickinson Stadium. "It took me by surprise how quickly I settled in here. The lads, the staff and the fans were really good with me, they made me feel welcome.

"It is an unbelievable club to be at. I feel the great support and I know this is a great club, so I'm proud to be here. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go as this is a really ambitious team."

On how he is feeling fitness-wise, having been in and out of Moyes' team, Johnson added: "I feel good. I've worked hard to try to be as fit as I can because I know that football is about being fitter and stronger.

"You cannot guarantee playing anywhere as a professional, especially in the Premier League because it is the best league in the world with the best players. Anyone would be a bit stupid to think they could just roll up and play every week.

"I'm happy with the amount of minutes I've played. Obviously I always want to strive for more, but I'm in a good place physically."
