Wing-back Lee Vaughan has declared himself delighted to get back on the right track at AFC Telford United - even if it is on the left flank.
The 22-year-old made his first start of the season on Saturday, returning from injury and suspension to help his side to a 1-0 victory at Redditch.

Summer signing Martyn Naylor has taken his spot at right wing-back in the early games, but Vaughan got his chance on the other side, replacing Steve Jagielka in the starting line-up.
The former Walsall youngster responded with an impressive display and looked set to retain his place in the starting line-up at home to Alfreton this afternoon.
“It was different being at left wing-back, but if there’s any way I can get back in the side then I will take it just to play in front of our fans,” he declared.
“We got unbelievable support on Saturday and it was a great result. It was a disciplined performance and a clean sheet, which is the main thing.
“I just wanted to get out there and play my own game to get back into the swing of things. I played on the left with Walsall and it’s not a problem. Obviously I’d like to play on the right, but we’ll see.
“We usually get off to a good start and it’s around Christmas we need to be careful,” he added. “But there’s a good spirit around the club and everyone’s in good form.”
Meanwhile, assistant manager Larry Chambers heaped further praise on strike duo Terry Fearns and Andy Brown.
They combined again for Telford’s winner on Saturday - Brown converting for his third of the season - and between them have scored seven of the Bucks’ nine goals so far.
“If we are going to do anything this season then I think the difference is going to be our strikers,” said Chambers. “Even when the opposition had their spell we always looked lively. Browny works his socks off and makes things happen, and Fearnsy - well you can’t give him a chance in the box.”
