And the free-scoring former Bishop’s Stortford and Romford defender also revealed he sets himself a secret goal target at the start of each season.

He said: “I’m not saying exactly what it is — but it is in double figures.

“I’ve got four so far this year but I have been out with injuries, so hopefully I can get a long run of games now and do my b
