Ian Traylor, Merthyr Town’s leading scorer with 22 goals this season, is gunning for Hampshire club Hartley Wintney.
‘Traylz’ has netted a total of 178 goals for the Martyrs and would love to take that tally past the 200 mark.
It won’t be this season, but former Hirwaun and Pontypridd Town striker Traylor, aged 29, badly wants to add to his total over the remaining six Merthyr matches.
The Martyrs play the first of three remaining home fixtures when Hartley Wintney visit the MetCoaches Community Stadium on Saturday (3pm).
