Yeovil Town striker Aaron Jarvis has said he is confident he will continue to score goals for the club.

The 26-year-old has scored just once in six National League Premier Division appearances since arriving from Torquay United in the summer.

He says he is continuing to work to fit in to the patient style of play which has become the Glovers’ hallmark under manager Mark Cooper, which sees his play as a lone frontman supported by three attacking players.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s trip to AFC Fylde, Jarvis said: “I know what the Gaffer wants from me and I have some good players around me to help me get the ball in the net and bring others in to play as well. I am looking to bring a lot more to the team than I have and hopefully notching a few goals in the coming games.

All strikers want a quick start, but I am always going to give 100% and I am sure the fans have seen that in my performances. But it is a different style to the one I am used to and I have been speaking to the Gaffer about that this week, so I just have to adapt a few things and I am sure it will click soon.

I am used to more crosses in to the box, but we play a more patient build-up, so it is especially different in my role. I just need to stay between the posts and take my chances when they come. I want to try and be involved as much as I can, but my role is to conserve my energy and put the ball in the net.

I have got a lot of confidence in myself, I know I can put the ball in the net so I am just hoping for a few more chances to come my way and hopefully I can stick a few away.

Jarvis, who scored 15 league goals in his last season at National League level with Torquay in 2022/23, said he had not been surprised by anything he had seen since coming to Huish Park. In their opening six matches, Yeovil have picked up three wins and three defeats.

The striker said: “It was no surprise to us, most of the boys have been here before. A few games we felt like we could have got more results, but we know we have to snap out and we are looking forward to getting a few more points on the board in the next few games.

We know the way we want to play, it is just a few little errors here and there that have cost us a few goals and points, but once those errors are stamped out and the frontmen start firing we will be looking good.
