Young has replaced Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz as first-choice keeper

Aldershot goalkeeper Jamie Young believes momentum is with them as they prepare for the play-offs.

The Shots have lost just once in their past 10 matches and secured their play-off place with a game to spare.

The 24-year-old told BBC Surrey: "I think we've come into form at the right part of the season.

"We've got a bit of momentum behind us, but there is a long way to go. Hopefully the rest of the squad has the same mentality."

He added: "There's a bit of satisfaction at getting to the play-offs. I think it's a massive achievement, especially for a club this size.

"I think we all want to do well and success this season will definitely help us for the future."

The Shots go to promotion-chasing rivals Morecambe this weekend.

"They need to win so there are no illusions - it's going to be a tough game. They'll be up for it but so will we," said the Australian stopper.

Young has made eight appearances for the Shots after being signed by manager Kevin Dillon in March.
