FC Halifax Town managed a 2-1 win away to National League North side Darlington. Following the match, Tobi Sho-Silva spoke to Luke Davis.

He said: โ€œIt was a good game. A good test for us. Darlington were a good side to be fair. Theyโ€™ve got some good players. Weโ€™ve got some good players as well. A 2-1 win, itโ€™s preseason, everyoneโ€™s got minutes under their belt. No one is injured. So we just build on that.โ€

Sho-Silva was Townโ€™s second signing of the season after joining from Dover. Sho-Silva revealed how he has settled in straight away.

He said: โ€œThe lads are very good. I knew a couple of the boys before. Iโ€™d played with [Josh] Staunton at Charlton, then Jamie Allen at Dover. All they boys, theyโ€™re just legends. Itโ€™s a good group of lads.โ€

Having played with a few of his teammates in the past, the forward acknowledge how important it is to have a familiar face.

He said: โ€œItโ€™s important to be fair. But in football, everyone knows about going into new changing rooms. How to settle boys in. Weโ€™ve got 46 games in the league and weโ€™ve got cup matches. So, weโ€™re one team when weโ€™re out there. One identity. You gel quickly with them.โ€

With the first fixture of the league campaign on the 3rd of August, Sho-Silva is ready to go and believes the rest of the team are as well.

He said: โ€œIโ€™m feeling ready for the season. Walking into the changing room after the game saying โ€˜thatโ€™s all weโ€™ve got to doโ€™. Weโ€™ve got to win. Sometimes itโ€™s not pretty but all the boys feel fit and weโ€™re ready to go. Iโ€™m looking forward to the season. I think itโ€™s going to be a good one.โ€

Town face Salford City next Saturday in the final preseason friendly. Sho Silva revealed how confident the team is ahead of the fixture.

He said: โ€œWeโ€™ll go out there and I think we can beat anybody. We might have to change a few things to adapt to their shape. Weโ€™re just going to work hard and get some minutes under our belt. Weโ€™ll see what we can do.โ€
