The free-scoring midfielder has held talks with boss Rob Smith and is a free agent after leaving Tamworth at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old, who is based in Shrewsbury, has had interest from National Premier sides Chester and Halifax as well as Boston United.

But he is tempted to return to Telford, where he started his career, saying: "I've had a conversation with Rob.

"It's clear for everyone that he got the best out of me in my time at Hednesford Town If the deal is right, there's no reason why I wouldn't go back to Telford.

"But, at the moment, I've had other things on my mind so it's been put on the back-burner.

"I've just had a new-born baby so that's taking up quite a lot of my time.

"But it's a big season for me and I need to make sure I make the right decision for myself and my career moving forward.

"I've got a few offers. There's been quite a lot of interest from Boston and Halifax, those sort of clubs.

"Rob's asked me to call him when I'm in the right frame of mind, because with the new-born my head has been all over the shop.

"If the deal's right, there's every chance. I have to play as high a standard as I can, but there's nothing to say I wouldn't sign for Telford."
