He made 22 appearances for the top-flight side, scoring just the once.<\/p>\n<p>However, he has continued to reap the rewards of his successful north of the border since returning to South London. He has made seven appearances for Gary Rowett&#8217;s side, all of which have been starts. McNamara has shown his versatility as well, filling in at both right wing and in defensive midfield.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his new deal to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.millwallfc.co.uk\/news\/2021\/february\/mcnamara-praises-academy-staff-for-millwall-breakthrough\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> official Millwall website,<\/a> the 22-year-old credited the academy stuff for helping him get to where he is in his career.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;I&#8217;m really happy. It&#8217;s something that has been in the pipeline for about a month now, so I&#8217;m buzzing to get it sorted.\u00a0Being a Millwall boy &#8211; as are all my family &#8211; it means the world. Hopefully I&#8217;m doing them proud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Larry McAvoy and Chris Perry [Millwall&#8217;s Under 18s managers] were class with me when I was younger. They developed me and gave me chances and opportunities. I feel as though I&#8217;ve taken them and proved I can play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realise my debut was going to come around so soon [after returning from loan], but I was over the moon. It was down to me to show that I could be trusted and I feel as though I did that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Within three days, I was in again against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/bournemouth\/\" target=\"_self\">Bournemouth,<\/a> and I think that shows the gaffer can trust me and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been an all-round positive start and I hope I can continue that for the rest of the season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"aww1TF0GSZV39CY5KKWsyA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1230872249\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'aww1TF0GSZV39CY5KKWsyA',sig:'P5IE6Ugqg5eyfHXBEYrzVmb1acvqKAhQW-JWt4KLmFw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1230872249',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millwall have confirmed that Danny McNamara has agreed a new long-term deal with the club.
