Ebbsfleet United striker Nathaniel
Pinney is enjoying life at Stonebridge Road and says his loan spell
at the club is proving beneficial.
The 21-year-old, on loan from Crystal
Palace, struck twice and made another goal as the Fleet cruised to
a 3-0 win against Tamworth on Tuesday night.
Pinney (pictured) has been
watched by Palace chief scout Steve Kember during his time at Fleet
and the forward believes his time with Liam Daish’s side is helping
his career.
He said: "It’s going well so far. The
gaffer (Dougie Freedman) tells me to keep doing well and that they
have had good reports about me, so I just want to keep doing it
here.
"I want to do well here in the rest of
my loan, have a good pre-season at Palace and push on from
there."
Pinney’s double took his total to
seven at Fleet but it was the build-up as well as the finishing
that caught the eye.
Daish said: "Nathaniel is an
intelligent player and all the goals were clinical finishes and we
really came out of the traps in the second half."
Daish continues to work with a small
squad but has been boosted by the return of Alex Stavrinou after
his loan at Lewes ended, while midfielder Ben Adams has also been
registered ahead of Saturday’s visit of Mansfield.
Ram Marwa is struggling with a knee
problem that may require a scan, Ricky Shakes has missed the last
two games with back spasms, while Calum Willock went off on Tuesday
with a tight hamstring but should be fit for the weekend.
