Fit Harvey Key to Truro's Title Hopes
14 Aug
Summary
- Tyler Harvey aims to recapture 25-goal form for promotion.
- Injuries limited Harvey to five goals last season.
- Manager Askey emphasizes Harvey's fitness and playmaking.
Truro City manager John Askey is optimistic that striker Tyler Harvey will replicate his goalscoring prowess from two seasons prior. Harvey, 31, opened Truro's scoring for the current season in their recent 2-0 victory over Maidenhead United.
During Truro's promotion-winning season in 2024-25, Harvey was instrumental, scoring 25 goals. However, injuries significantly hampered his performance last season, resulting in only five goals in 25 appearances and contributing to the team's relegation from the National League.
Askey acknowledged that Harvey's fitness was not optimal for the majority of last season. He expressed hope for Harvey's sustained health throughout the current season, emphasizing the striker's vital impact on the team's performance and goal-scoring ability.
The manager further elaborated on Harvey's value, noting his "good football brain." Beyond scoring, Harvey contributes by creating scoring opportunities for others. Askey believes managing Harvey's injury risks is key to ensuring he plays a significant portion of the upcoming games.
