Michael Dunn delighted to join Worksop Town

Dunn was with Craig Parry at Pontefract Collieries for the whole of the manager's reign in West Yorkshire, and speaks highly of his boss.

Dunn said: “I’m excited to get going, really. I can’t wait, especially with everything that has been happening with the pandemic at the minute.

“I would more or less put the different divisions down to fitness. I would also put it down to teams being more clinical in front of goal than others – I wouldn’t say there are any big gaps between each division.

“It has been hard [without football], especially with watching it as well. It is difficult when you're used to going out and playing. The past couple of weeks I’ve managed to kick a ball, but apart from that, it has been a case of doing some running, really.”

Like most of the players that have come to Worksop, Dunn is confident that the Tigers will hit the ground running, as a massive season seems to be creeping ever closer.

He said: “I think we can kick on from where we left off. [Craig Parry] doesn’t change anything. He’s a good manager and I’ve been with him for the past four years, so yeah, I love playing for him.

“I like to run in behind defenders; I can be a bit tricky on the ball. I have an eye for a goal, and I also like to set up goals too.”

Dunn met up with his new team-mates for the first time following Worksop’s recent return to training.

It is hoped the new Northern Premier League South East Division season will begin on September 19.
