Tushaun Tyreece-Walters is more than happy to play wherever he’s needed now he’s back in the Maidstone fold. The forward shone at left-back on his first National League start in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Scunthorpe. “I got a call on Monday, saying that I could be playing left-back,” he explained. “I used to play left-back years ago and it’s a position I do have an understanding of naturally as a winger. “It’s kind of just in my game originally.

Obviously, there’s still parts to work on but there was help coming from the side, which helped me while I was playing. "I felt I did quite well.” It was certainly an unfamiliar role for Tyreece-Walters, who recently returned from a loan spell at Isthmian Premier Herne Bay.

But he said: “Wherever I’m needed, really, I’ll do the job for the team if I need to do it. "It was my first start in the National League.

I can only progress from this point and get better.” Tyreece-Walters admits he had been caught a bit by surprise at how quickly he has been re-introduced into the Stones’ first-team environment having played at Winch’s Field - two divisions below - as recently ago as the end of January.
