AFC Telford keeper grateful for chance
Goalkeeper James Montgomery has thanked AFC Telford manager Steve Kittrick for giving him the chance to prove himself in the Conference Premier.
But the 20-year-old said it's not yet clear where he will be playing next season.
Montgomery was snapped up on non-contract terms in March and given his Conference Premier debut at Braintree when Freddy Hall was on international duty with Bermuda.
Montgomery kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win and retained the No.1 spot for the final six games of the season.
He said: "I had never played in the Conference Premier before. I had been waiting for a chance and finally I got it, so thanks to the gaffer for putting me in.
"I appreciate him giving me the chance when no-one else would, and he's kept me in the team. I just want to keep on pushing on and playing at the highest level I can."
That level could be above Conference North if he can impress potential suitors Walsall. Montgomery has trained with the League One outfit and played for their reserves in a 0-0 draw against Tranmere.
Kittrick would like to sign Montgomery for next season and the player is happy to discuss the matter.
Asked what his position was he said: "I'd still like to see what the situation is here with the gaffer."
