The Republic of Ireland international played his first 90 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wolves.

"I was 100% happy [with my performance against Wolves] because I wanted to make a good first impression of myself, to show them that I am here - and want to work hard for this team and this club," he said.

"I was hoping to display my character with my performance and I hope I did that for them.

"When I was on the pitch I just wanted to work as hard as I can to show the manager he can trust me and also my team-mates.

"It has been a lot of hard work [since the summer]. There was obviously a change of scenery with moving down to a new club, trying to earn the manager's trust and getting in the team, which is really difficult at this level.

"Physically I am in a better place than I was last year and I continue to grow."

Ogbene tapped into an empty net in the final stages against Wolves, but what would have been the winner was ruled out for offside. Despite only taking a point, he is confident the Hatters' first win of the season will come.

"It was a step forward from where we have been, especially from the start of the season. The mentality is if you can't win, you don't lose - and we did that."
