He said: “I was there watching the Leicester game and the atmosphere that day was absolutely fantastic.

“But I am looking forward to the experience of making my home debut and hopefully getting a few goals.

“As a Sunday league player, going back a few of the finals were held at Bescot so I am looking forward to it as a professional.”

Matt said he was hoping the team would gain some momentum at a vital stage of the season.

He said: “We are playing the leaders at home on Saturday so that should be a motivation at the start of the run in.”
