The forward (above) has waited an injury-punctuated 18 months to hit the net in front of the Town faithful.

And he finally got off the mark by rounding-off a comfortable victory with a late third against his old club, after Eiran Cashin's own goal and another from Jack Taylor inside the first 15 minutes.
