My best is yet to come, says Ebbsfleet United striker Stefan Payne

by Steve Tervet
Stefan Payne has promised
Ebbsfleet fans his best is yet to come and believes the club will
win their battle to survive in Blue Square Bet Premier.
The former Gillingham striker arrived
at Stonebridge Road on transfer deadline day, having spent the
first part of the season with Sutton.
After making a solitary appearance for
Macclesfield Town in January, the 21-year-old agreed to join
Ebbsfleet until the end of the season.
Payne (pictured) was hugely impressive
against Southport last weekend, showing the sort of form which
persuaded former Gills boss Andy Hessenthaler to sign him in 2010.
He never tied down a regular starting berth at Priestfield, so is
relishing regular football for Liam Daish’s side.
Payne said: "The gaffer and Macca have
put a lot of faith in me, starting me in games. Hopefully, I can
fully repay that faith by setting up and scoring more goals.
"This is the first time I’ve had a
decent run of games. I’m getting consistency back into my
performances but still feel there’s a lot more to come from me.
"I’ve had a few knock backs, people
saying I can’t do things, so it’s a good opportunity to prove
people wrong."
