SEAN Brain wants to “leave my mark” as he represents the third generation of his family gunning for goals at Evesham United.

The 23-year-old striker joined his hometown club from Bromsgrove Sporting over the summer on the back of 63 goals in four seasons.

He comes from good stock with the names of Sid and uncle Simon still etched into Robins folklore for their net-busting exploits.

Now it is Sean’s turn and he is determined to create his own piece of history by firing United to promotion glory.

“It is my home town, being from Evesham I saw this as a big opportunity for me,” said Brain.

“The club has been doing so well over the past few seasons but just missing out on promotion so I wanted to give it a good crack and play in front of supporters I know.

“I have got to know the lads really well and hopefully we can finally get the promotion that has been the aim for a few years now.

“My family is happy but at the same time they say it is my decision where I want to play, wherever I am happy.

“Whether I had stayed at Bromsgrove or gone wherever I would still have had that support which means a lot to me.

“I just want to try to leave my mark here, help the boys out as much as I can and try to win promotion.

“There can be no smaller ambitions. We are out of all the cups now so the sole focus is on the league and we have to win it.”

Brain made hay at Sporting in front of bumper crowds but gradually found first-team starts harder to come by due to the burgeoning partnership of Jason Cowley and Richard Gregory in back-to-back title successes.

His contribution still led to a step up in standard with this his first season at Southern League level.

He has two goals in five starts and four substitute appearances for Evesham to date.

“I have no regrets,” he said.

“I had a few years at Bromsgrove and scored some crucial goals, there were some bad games along the way as well but that happens at any club.

“Now it is all about my home town. I always wanted to come down here to give it a go and this is all I am thinking about. There is no looking back at the past, my focus is Evesham.

“I have had conversations with the gaffer (Paul Collicutt). He has told me what he wants and that I have to be patient.

“As soon as I get my chance I want to take it. I am hoping I have proved what I can do and that I can keep my shirt for the next game but at the same time whatever is best for the team has to come first.

“I am enjoying it. You always want to play at the highest level you can and making the step up is good.

“The main difference is that teams are more organised, the defenders are bigger and more physical than what I have been used to. It was always going to be a learning curve.

“All I can do is keep trying to learn, add different things to my game and take it from there.”
