Jordan Thomas was the match-winner for Yeovil at Farnborough, making his first appearance in green-and-white from the bench after injury.
The full-back, who signed from Hampton & Richmond earlier this summer, said being back on the pitch was good for his ‘mental state’.
He appeared as a 66th-minute substitute in the 2-1 win at Farnborough Town on Saturday, scoring an 87th minute winner with a neat finish.
Speaking to the club’s YouTube channel: “I think just for my mental state, it helped just being back fit now and obviously it’s frustrating for myself, for the staff. But then now I’m back, I’m just gonna look forward. And then, yeah, just try and kick on and get as much fitness as I can into my legs and just be ready for the start of the season.”
The 23-year-old said he had been absent with a ‘mild strain’ in his hip but has still found being on the sidelines beneficial.
“It’s been different being on the sideline but still mixing in around with them. I think all the boys have been really welcoming and sort of had their arms around me and just helped me out, but I tried to make sure that I’m not too much of an energy drainer because we don’t need that in the team.
“It’s been so good to sort of see it from the sidelines just to pick up from a different view what the gaffer wants. Like how he wants us to play really, the style and what he requires of me from my position. So yeah, it’s being beneficial in a weird way, if I try and look at the positive,” he said.
