John Stones has described his first appearance for Inter as an “unforgettable” occasion after coming on as a substitute.
The England international marked his Inter debut from the bench, then used social media to thank supporters for the reception he received and to reflect on the significance of the day.
Stones wrote: “Wow! Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I’ll never forget this day in front of you all. I’m incredibly proud and honored! This is a great way to start the new season!”
His message focused on the welcome from the Inter supporters and his pride at beginning the new season with the club. The defender also made clear that his first appearance had personal importance, describing the experience as one he would remember.
The debut came as a substitute, meaning Stones’ first involvement for Inter was made after the match had begun. No further match details were provided in the original update, but the player’s reaction underlined the importance he placed on making his first appearance for the club.
Stones’ comments combined appreciation for the supporters with optimism about what lies ahead. By thanking fans directly, he acknowledged the atmosphere surrounding his arrival and the significance of being able to step on to the pitch in an Inter shirt for the first time.
His reference to the “new season” also framed the debut as the beginning of a new chapter. While the appearance itself was made from the substitutes’ bench, Stones presented the occasion as a positive starting point and expressed confidence in the significance of the moment.
The post was shared on social media shortly after his debut and quickly captured the defender’s feelings about the reception he received. Rather than focusing on individual details from the match, Stones’ message centred on the connection with the supporters and his pride at joining the club.
The wording of the post was warm and personal. He thanked everyone for what he called a warm welcome, promised that he would never forget the day, and described himself as incredibly proud and honoured. He then concluded by calling the debut a great way to begin the new season.
