North Leigh manager Mark Gee is aiming for the play-offs as the club prepares for the start of Southern League Division One campaign.

Having finished last season in eighth place, Gee has set his sights high for the coming season - although they are yet to win in pre-season.

He told BBC Oxford: "Realistically, we're aiming for the play-offs.

"We finished three places outside the play-offs (last season) and if we can improve we'll be delighted to do so."

Despite a winless warm-up to date, Gee says he is happy with the way the squad is shaping up.

"We've brought in Ryan Curtin, we've brought in Arran Posey, so we're maybe one short if anything," he said.

"Arran's done really well for us pre-season. We've tried him at right-back and he's come in and showed us he can play there.

"He's enthusiastic which rubs off on other players so we're delighted with him.

"Ryan Curtin gives us a different option. (He's) good into feet, a good player, a good passer of the ball but we just need to make him sharp."
