Fyfield played 98 games for Conference South club Maidenhead

York City's new signing Jamal Fyfield says he is enjoying his new role on the wing, having played nearly 100 games at left-back for Maidenhead.

Fyfield has scored once and won a man of the match award whilst playing wide-left in his first two games for City.

The 21-year-old told BBC Radio York: "I hadn't played left-wing for seven years, but I started as a left-winger.

"At first I was a bit gutted because I like playing left-back, but I thought I'll do my best for the team."

Fyfield started his full debut at Tamworth as left-back with James Meredith pushed up-field, but they swapped roles and Fyfield scored from the new position in the second half of the 3-1 win.

"Ports [Andy Porter, caretaker-manager] has been telling me to get into the box after the crosses, so I nipped in there," he added.

I'm hoping to take York to the highest point in the Football League York City's new signing Jamal Fyfield

"It was a great ball in from Bazza [Neil Barrett]. My first touch wasn't the best but the ball was still there so I poked it in."

Fyfield started his career at Leyton Orient but after moving up from London, he feels he has now settled into life at York.

"London's a bit more loud and a bit busy but I'm liking York at the moment, it's much quieter," he said.

"I'm hoping to take York to the highest point in the Football League so I hope they keep playing me and I keep doing well."
