Loanee James Plant is looking forward to picking up where he left off at Yeovil Town having rejoined the club from Port Vale until January.
The 20-year-old starred during two previous loan spells at Huish Park last season scoring twice in 13 appearances before sustaining a hamstring injury in mid-February.
He has featured for Vale in pre-season and came off the bench for them in an EFL Cup win at Blackpool earlier this month.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins on Friday, he said: “I am really happy to be back and I am really excited to get started now. I had to get that injury sorted, I spent time working on at (Port) Vale with the physios which is the worst thing for a footballer, to be injured. But now I am back and feeling strong so I can’t wait to get back going.”
The winger did not re-sign in time for Yeovil’s 2-1 win over newly-promoted Brackley Town at Huish Park on Wednesday, but will be available for Saturday’s trip to Braintree Town followed by the visit of Gateshead to Somerset on Bank Holiday Monday.
He provides much needed cover down the left side and is able to play as either a wing-back or winger, a position currently only filled by Alex Whittle in the Glovers’ squad.
Plant added: “I spoke to the manager (Mark Cooper) on Monday and he spoke about getting me back in and I just said ‘let’s get it done’, it took a couple of days and I could not quite get it done before the game on Wednesday, but I am ready at the weekend.
“I want to play as many games as possible and help the team in any way I am called upon, wherever I am playing I will be aiming to help the team. I am usually out wide, but wherever I am playing I will do my best to help the team.”
Having picked up their first win of the National League Premier Division season in midweek, Yeovil make the trip to Braintree looking for more points ahead of a return to home soil when Gateshead – including ex-Glovers’ favourite Frank Nouble – make the long journey south 48 hours later.
Plant said: “I have heard (Braintree) is always a tough game, as every team is in this league, they will be up for it and their fans will be – but so will we and our fans, so we will be going there to get three points. I can’t wait for Saturday, but even more I can’t wait to be back at Huish Park on Monday, it should be a good weekend.“
