Former Yeovil Town midfielder Danny Schofield has thanked Glovers' fans for their support and vowed to say goodbye properly later this month.

The 29-year-old left Huish Park for Millwall on transfer-deadline day last week for an undisclosed fee.

Schofield went straight into Kenny Jackett's team for the trip to Bristol Rovers on Saturday, playing 90 minutes in the 2-0 League One defeat.The former Huddersfield Town playmaker admitted the move had come out of the blue but said the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Schofield said: "The gaffer (Terry Skiverton) called me and said there was interest from Millwall and that both parties were going to meet in Yeovil."

"I think then we all wanted the move to go through really. For me and for the club it was a good move and it went ahead."

"The attraction was that Millwall did really well last season and just missed out on promotion.They are a big club and that was what drew me towards them really."

" Millwall fans are renowned for their passion and for being a big following. That makes the atmosphere at big games really exciting, which was also an attraction ."

Despite being with Yeovil for a little more than one season, Schofield was a firm favourite with the fans.He made an instant impact under former manager Russell Slade when he signed in the summer of 2008 from the Terriers.

Despite missing games through injury towards the end of the last campaign, he made 47 appearances for the Glovers and scored five goals.The Doncaster-born player may have left quickly, but he is already looking forward to Yeovil's trip to Millwall's New Den on September 29.

"The Yeovil fans were brilliant and I struck up a personal relationship with quite a few of them having lived bang in the middle of the town for a year-and-a-bit," said Schofield."They have been really good to me and I enjoyed playing in front of them."

"This has all happened quite suddenly so I did not get the opportunity to play in front of the fans knowing I was leaving or say goodbye to the players or staff at Huish Park."

"I called a few of the players and spoke to the gaffer and we wished each other all the best. But it will be good to say goodbye sooner rather than later. It is ironic that our next two games are against Yeovil and Huddersfield - the only clubs I had played for before coming to Millwall."

"It is unbelievable really. It is always good to play against your previous clubs so I look forward to those."

Schofield could have left Yeovil in the summer after handing in a transfer request when his young family failed to settle.However, he committed himself to the club following discussions with his family and Skiverton.

Schofield said that his switch to Millwall was purely a career-orientated move and not down to problems with life in Somerset.

"We want to move a bit further out from the centre of London because we do not really want to live where it is too busy," said Schofield."There are more things for the family to do (in London) but that did not affect our decision to come - it was purely a football thing."

"I think we did get settled in Yeovil but when this offer came along it was one I couldn't afford to turn down."
