Port Vale striker Kaid Mohamed has revealed that he is hopeful of securing an extended run in the team this season.
The 29-year-old, who joined the club from Cheltenham Town this summer, made his full debut in Saturday's 2-1 win over Bradford City.
He told the club's official website: "Nobody likes being on the bench, it's more or less just about waiting for your chance and then obviously just taking it.
"I thought I did well during the 90 minutes, I think I need a few games to get up to match fitness. I am feeling fit but playing games makes you feel sharper, I am just glad to be in the team, winning and getting three points.
"I think I can give a lot more, it was my first game, I was a little bit nervy but you want to get into it and do the right things. I'm excited to be playing and I can't wait to be playing on Saturday again."
Next up for Port Vale is a clash with Oldham Athletic this weekend.
