Kane Thompson-Sommers is yet to start playing at his new club Halifax.
The former Hereford player tore his medial collateral ligament in his knee whilst keeping fit in pre-season.
However he is on the road to recovery and in an interview with the Halifax Courier said 'everything is perfect now'.
Later in the interview he spoke about his time at Hereford and how it had helped him.
"I found it tough at the start, just getting used to how the game was, it was different to what I'd been used to," he said.
"But once I got into it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a good platform for me to play week-in, week-out in a men's environment.
"That's what I wanted to do, I didn't want to play academy football anymore, I thought it was time for me to kick on and play men's football."
Thomson-Sommers said he had probably learnt as much last season as in the previous five.
"It definitely comes close.
"You learn a lot in academy football but you can't learn everything, gearing up for men's football is completely different, and loads of players find that as soon as they get there.
"But as long as you make the switch early enough then you're still young enough learn and you can catch on quickly, but it is definitely different and you do learn a lot very quick.
"My initial thought-process was I wanted to play week-in, week-out and that's what made Hereford the right move for me at the time.
"I backed myself to perform and thought if I play week-in, week-out then I'll show that I'm good enough to play in the league above."
