Centre back Richard Keogh believes Kane Vincent-Young 'is at a good place' in Wycombe Wanderers following their respective moves from Ipswich Town.
The duo both joined the Chairboys in July following their exits from the Premier League side, and the 36-year-old defender is in high spirits for the season ahead.
Both and Vincent-Young collectively featured in 80 matches for the Tractor Boys across a four-year spell.

Keogh, who played 16 times for Ipswich in his only year at the club last term, told the Free Press: “We’ve spent a bit of time together and he probably didn’t play as much as he would have liked, but, he contributed a lot to the group.
“I was kind of getting into him a bit when the call came as I thought this would be a good place for him and I’m delighted he’s here and he’s a great kid.”
On his time in East Anglia which only saw him play nine league games, he added: “It was the first time in my career where I didn’t really play around 40 games so of course, I wanted to play a bit more.

“But on the flip side, I know I contributed to the group as I also learnt a lot from the other side as Kieran [McKenna] is a brilliant manager and a great guy.

“Naturally, you want to play but I respected the team and manager and had to contribute in another way and that was to get behind everyone and teach people.
“I look back now and getting promoted was fantastic and I know I played a part in the things that people don’t see.
“The promotion meant as much to me if I had played 40 games and I did enjoy it all.”
