Sullivan's month-long loan deal at Huish Park could be extended

Yeovil's new keeper John Sullivan says he is looking forward to some regular games having spent a lot of time on the bench at his previous clubs.

Sullivan arrived at Huish Park last week on a month's loan from Millwall having previously played for Brighton.

"I've had a taste of first team football and I want to get that back," the 22-year-old told BBC Somerset.

"I've missed playing at three o'clock on a Saturday. To train hard all week and miss out is quite heart-breaking."

Sullivan continued: "This will be the first time I've started the first game of the season so I'm very excited.

"A couple of years ago I got into team at Brighton and I thought personally I was unfortunate to lose out and go back on the bench there.

"Obviously last year at Millwall I could have no complaints as the keeper David Ford at a fantastic season."

The Glovers' new number one has been impressed by the set-up at the Yeovil.

"It's a great little family club. Every time I've come here before with other teams all the lads have said what a good club it is.

"As soon as you turn up on a match day the fans are enthusiastic and there's a good feel about the place," added Sullivan.

"The gaffer [Terry Skiverton] I think is tremendous. He's very enthusiastic about the game being a young manager and there are a lot out there that aren't.

"We've got a real good chance to surprise a few people this season."
