"If I'm going to be deadly honest this is the club I've enjoyed playing for the most. It's a very welcoming club. Carl, Clarky, Wardy and everyone else involved are a great bunch, so it's good to be back enjoying it really.

"It didn't workout at Hebburn, work circumstances, during the week I was struggling a little bit and the club couldn't seem to get their head around it. They wanted 110% from me and I can get that but Carl is a lot more understanding."

Fairley got off to the dream start on Saturday, coming off the bench to seal the game for The Seasiders, he said:

"It didn't take long, I think it was a few minutes in, I probably could have got another one, I should have went for goal rather than hanging back a bit and wasting time but it was just about trying to see the game off after that. All the hard work was done by others, I was played in inside the box so I just took a touch and slotted it home, it was a good start."

He was a key member of Marske's title winning squad last year but was forced to leave the club due to the new demand of travel, Fairley commented:

"I've got my own house now, which helps a little bit more with the little man, he has football at the weekend, starts a lot earlier now than it did last season. Carl is understanding again, if it's away games I'm going to have to travel on my own. Like I say my priority is with the little man but if I can't make it the squad is big enough now to fill the gap."

Fairley will hope to get his first start since rejoining the club on Saturday away to Lincoln United.
