The defender admitted a bad attitude hindered his progress throughout his career so far but looks a different player since he moved to Fratton Park.
Freeman said: ‘I’m enjoying my football. The gaffer and his staff have given me an enjoyment.
‘They are allowing me to go out and enjoy the game here.
‘I’ve learned a lot since I was last here.
‘I think I maybe had a bit of an attitude when I was younger, but you can’t buy that experience, so you live and learn...you develop from that experience.”
