Parry looks for successful season
Hereford United midfielder Paul Parry is confident for his personal future, and also that of the club.
He reckons that Hereford United can push for promotion next term, and also that his Wales squad can retain the Four Nations championship in next week's tournament.
Speaking to the Evening News, he said: "The main thing is that I wanted to do better than last year when we were fighting relegation. The whole season was a highlight really because we did a lot better than people expected although it was a little disappointing at the end. I thought we were unlucky against Wigan in the FA Cup and it was amazing to think that we were just denied in the final minute against the Division Two leaders.
"From a personal point of view I was pleased with my goals haul of 12 because my previous best was six though I was playing up front a fair bit."
Parry is set to become a father in five weeks time, but feels that the time off should be shorter.
"I would rather the summer break was shorter to be honest because it gets a bit boring after a few weeks and I can't wait to get going again," he added.
He will be kept occupied, though, by the international tournament next week with Parry and Tony James facing the England duo of Matt Baker and Michael Rose as the Hereford dressing room is split.
"I'd love to win the Four Nations again but I'm sure there will be a fair bit of competition between the Hereford lads," said Parry.
