Currently on 10 goals so far this season, Rec’s Nathan Perks gave all credit to the assist-makers in supplying his goal contributions.

He most recently netted in the 4-0 victory over Shelley, his fourth strike in six fixtures throughout October.

The Rec captain is confident that with the players around him and his playing style, he can double his current total.

“The credit goes to the players around me, putting the balls in – I’ve just got to finish them”.

 “I prefer to be in the 18-yard box, that’s mainly my game. I’m not going to run in behind, stuff like that. Get the ball wide then into the box and I’ll try and attack it.

 Perks was introduced as a second-half substitute in Rec's trip to Wakefield most recently, replacing James Woodhouse and found spaces inside Wakefield's box on several occasions, denied on this outing.

“I understand the manager goes with a game plan,” conceived Perks. “[Against Wakefield] it was going to be hard, a big pitch against two massive centre-halves, so kicking balls up for me to try and win headers, I wasn’t going to win. The aim was to get in behind, where you choose pace”.

The objective for Perks is simple.

 “More time on the pitch, more chance you’ve got to score.

 “My aim is twenty goals for the season”.

Rec return to Sheerien Park on Saturday afternoon for the first time in four fixtures in the NCEL Division One, hosting Wombwell Town.
