Dinanga is AFC Telford United’s top scorer with 12 goals, including six in the last five games, writes Jamie Morris.

And the 22-year-old believes former England C forward Barnes-Homer is helping him find the target.

“I’m just doing the right things,” said Dinanga. “If I’m not training then I’m in the gym, doing things after training.

“Matthew has helped me out a lot with finishing and extra things after training, everything is coming together.

“It’s my job, so for me to get praise out of doing my job is a bonus. I see it as the gaffer brought me here to score goals and that’s what I do as a striker. I enjoy my goals more if we are getting something out of the games.

“We just want to finish as high as possible. That’s the target at the moment and take each game as it comes and hopefully we can take something from this season.”
