Michael Husbands sets goal target

Vale forward Michael Husband has told the Staffordshire Sentinel he has set himself big targets for his second season at the club.

The former Walsall striker has agreed a one-year deal to stay with the Valiants and the 22 year-old is determined to prove his worth.

Husbands told the newspaper: “I’m here to prove something. I have to step up to the plate and score some goals for Vale.

“Because I am the youngest, that doesn’t mean less should be expected from me. I want to do something to get Vale up in the promotion places. I’m going to go at it all guns blazing, I want to be in the team not be a substitute.

“Hopefully, at the end of the season I will be the number-one striker, that’s the target I have set myself.

“I would like to be touching 15 goals, but I am more interested in starting games. I had 10 starts and scored five goals last season, so I would like to think if I can start 30 games I can get close to 15.”
