Godden was the Fleet’s top scorer in 2014/15, find the back of the net 12 times despite being sidelined with tendonitis for two months.

McMahon said: "Matty, who had quite a lot of injuries this year, will be like a new player and he’ll get goals.

"I like playing 4-3-3, which I’ve done in all the games I’ve managed so far and he played on the right in that.

"He can play anywhere in the front three.

"I wouldn’t pigeon-hole him in one place but if we’re playing 4-4-2, I don’t see him as a right-sided midfield player, I see him as a striker of the two."
