Ryan Young targeting milestone at AFC Telford

Long-serving goalkeeper Ryan Young is eyeing a milestone season this year as he closes in on 300 appearances for The Bucks.

Young has already made almost 270 competitive appearances in five seasons so far but his latest campaign could be the year he breaks the 300 barrier.

It is a figure the 32-year old former Hednesford shot-stopper admits he would love to reach and he is hopeful it will be before the end of this campaign.

But, with Andy Sinton still in the market for another goalkeeper, he is taking nothing for granted.

"I want to be in that 300 bracket. I think it would be a big thing to reach" he said.

"As long as I keep my place and I keep my form I'd like to reach it.

"But you have got take each game as it comes. If you aren't performing then you won't be in the side. I am not guaranteed to play every game and if I have a bad run of form I won't be in.

"But as long as I am fit, well and good enough to play I would like to reach that 300 mark."

Aside from reaching his personal milestone, Young is simply hoping to continue to help the team win games.

"I don't set targets. I just want us to win games", said Young, who also counts Redditch and Kettering among his previous clubs.

"People will always talk about keeping clean sheets but if we win every game 2-1 that would be fantastic."
