Following the news that he'd become the latest player to make the move to Poundland Bescot Stadium, returning former loanee Douglas James-Taylor has spoken of his desire to hit the ground running in 2023/24.James-Taylor made thirty first-team appearances during a loan spell in WS1 last season and has penned an initial one-year deal after leaving parent club Stoke City at the end of last season.
Speaking via the club's official website, DJT said; "It feels good to sign permanently.
"Throughout last season I felt supported by Mat Sadler and when he got the job, he was clear that he wanted me back and it felt right.
"Last season, there were a lot of new experiences for me so having those under my belt, going through tough times with the squad, tough times as an individual player, and getting through them, hopefully, this season they will be like water off a duck’s back and as a squad, we can really kick on this season.
"My personal aspirations are to be more solidified in the team and that only comes from performances, scoring more goals and that’s something that I was far off what I’m used to last season.
"As a group, there’s a real understanding that last year wasn’t where we need to be and promotion is what we want."
