Vermiglio, who is a teacher, joined Telford from Scarborough

Jamie Vermiglio has said he hopes he has done enough to show Telford boss Rob Smith he is back to full fitness.

The midfielder, 26, picked up an injury in November but after a brief return at Stafford on Boxing Day he impressed against King's Lynn at the weekend.

"It was frustrating as I was doing really well before the injury," Vermiglio told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"With the team playing well, I was happy to wait for my chance but hopefully I can keep my shirt now."

Telford's next game is their FA Trophy tie at home to Hayes & Yeading on Saturday 10 January and Vermiglio should start again as several first-team players will be missing.

Several players are being treated for minor injuries, while Indy Khela and Steve Jagielka are long-term casualties and Danny Edwards is cup-tied.
