Yeovil Town winger Dylan Morgan is confident his loan spell at National League South side Weston-super-Mare has helped him recover from an injury in pre-season.
The 22-year-old admitted it was “a bit of a surprise” to be sent out on loan having started the opening day home defeat to Hartlepool United, but believes his time on the north Somerset coast has helped him regain the form which saw him in impress in pre-season. He returned at the end of September having scored three goals in five matches for the Seagulls.
Speaking on Thursday ahead of the weekend’s trip to Wealdstone, he told BBC Somerset’s Toby Crabb: “I always wanted to be playing for Yeovil, but the injury happened and I spoke to the Gaffer (manager Mark Cooper) and he thought that was the best thing for me at that time. So I went there, delivered and then came straight back in to the team. I enjoyed my time there, but ultimately I wanted to get back here and deliver in the National League Premier. It was a bit of a surprise (to go out on loan), but I have been in worse positions than going on loan to Weston so I had to back myself and my ability and I did that and now I am back.
“I had a good pre-season, scored a lot of goals and I managed to do that again at Weston, and that made the club realise they had to bring me back in. I am happy I got the opportunity to come back in as quick as I have and hopefully the goals start coming for Yeovil. I always start the season saying I want ten goals this season, I got three at Weston so now I would like to get at least seven for Yeovil. It was lovely to come back and get a good reception and I am just hoping to put a few more smiles on people’s faces.”
Morgan said the players had come in to training “firing” following the FA Cup exit at lower league Chesham United last weekend. He was Cup-tied for the match having been allowed to play for Weston in the earlier stages of the competition.
He said: “It was pretty clear on Monday that it was not acceptable, it hurt everyone and that ups everyone by 10%, so everyone came in firing in training. It was awful (not to be able to play) because you want to be able to help in every game and have a good FA Cup run. It is a team game and I know everyone will be hurting as much as I am.“
