Tom Ince has vowed to prove his critics wrong as he aims to make a name for himself in the Premier League.

Since joining Huddersfield Town from Derby County in the summer, the 25-year-old has started every league game in what has been an impressive start to top-tier life from David Wagner's men.

Wagner took a chance on Ince despite two underwhelming previous spells in the top flight with Crystal Palace and Hull City which, according to the player, have tarnished his reputation.

"I think people are quick to judge that I'm not capable at this level," Ince told Sky Sports News. "I always thought over the last 18 months that's been quite harsh as I didn't really have a decent run of games in the Premier League.

"But they are the things you have to take as a footballer - everyone is entitled to their opinion, as do the media. It's down to me to do my talking on the pitch and try to make an impact in this league for me as an individual and for this club.

"I'm 25 now, and I've experienced a lot, including some knocks along the way. I'm just glad to be back in the Premier League. Back where the action happens. I'm at a club that plays the right way with a manager who wants his front four players to be exciting but also demands the work ethic to help the team.

"This is an opportunity to feel free and express myself. The Premier League has such a big profile but it's about working hard to try and get a shirt on a Saturday."

Up next for Huddersfield is a home encounter with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday lunchtime.
