STRIKER Steve Jones has set his goals as he looks to start his second season with Nantwich Town.

The former Northern Ireland international scored nine goals last term and is hoping to beat that as well as help the Dabbers get into the top six.

He also gave his thoughts on the side’s strike power after leading scorer Aaron Burns’ departure in January.

Jones said: “I don’t think we missed him second half of the season; we were scoring as a team, just conceded more, which was a bit disappointing.

“But the manager has addressed that this year and a good group of players have come in and there is a good camaraderie and I think we will do well.

“I want to be a winner and my standards are high this year. Hopefully we can make the play offs this year and get this club where it should be.

“But my main aim is to get above 10 goals for this season.”

The 38-year-old has had a busy summer which has seen him take his top coaching badges and will be hoping to use that at the Weaver Stadium.

He said: “I’ve done my A licence now and will take the forwards for a few sessions this year and give them a bit of my knowledge and wisdom of where their runs should be.”

But despite getting his badges ‘Jonah’ is hoping to play on for as long as he can.

He said: “I’ve done my badges now but I am still going to play for as long as I can, which, touch wood, will continue for another couple of years.

“Then hopefully I can get a coaching role somewhere and coach the strikers.”
