In Focus - Danny Harris

This week my player In Focus is Danny Harris. He's been with The Darts for about a month and a half after joining us on a dual registration contract with Hertfordshire Blue Square South side Bishop's Stortford and thus far it looks to be another shrewd bit of business by Darts boss Tony Burman.

Harris caught all our eyes from Day 1 when he sealed the deal against our arch-rivals Tonbridge with a brilliant curling shot into the bottom corner after coming on as a substitute. From then on he's continued in terrific goalscoring vain and currently has 5 goals in 7 starts.

Harris in my opinion has all the traits of a good striker. He's got a good turn of pace, he knows where the goal is and most importantly he has the determination and engine to boot. I've always felt that the big man, little man combo is one of the most lethal strike combinations in football and that this season, despite having arguably the best strike force in the league, we didn't have that. For me Haworth, May and Burns are all similar types of players; strong, well built and hard-working but I've always said the addition of a pacey striker in combination with those three would destroy any defence in the league. Not only is Harris pacey, but he's an adept finisher and will work equally as hard as the "target men" as shown by his exploits against Dover. He's a definite BSS quality striker, and I'm glad we've got him on board. Hopefully if he does well this season, TB will look to put him on a permanent deal for next season.
