George Harmon says battling Josh Reid for a spot in the starting 11 is helping both players reach their full potential.
Harmon established himself on the left side of defence last season, albeit in part due to a long-term injury to Ben Purrington, making 36 appearances across all competitions.
However, he has been in and out of the County side so far in 2023/24, swapping places with summer recruit and academy graduate Josh Reid.
He sees that as a good thing, though, with the pair relishing the opportunity to push each other to their limit.
“It is healthy competition – last season there probably wasn’t as much competition for me, especially with Ben Purrington being injured," Harmon explained.
“Josh has come in and we’re pushing each other to be the best professionals we can be.
“I just have to work hard on the training pitch and in games, and hopefully keep my place.
“Nothing was really spoken about in the summer, but everyone knew there was going to be more competition.
“Josh is a really good players and we’re just pushing each other to be the best we can be and fight for that left-back position.”
