Truro City manager John Askey is banking on Tyler Harvey to rediscover his goalscoring form after the striker netted in their opening National League South win. Harvey scored 25 goals in the 2024-25 season when Truro won promotion to the National League, but injuries limited him to just five goals last term as they finished 24th with 34 points (8W-10D-28L).
What happened in Harvey's return?
The 31-year-old opened his account for the new season with Truro's first goal in their 2-0 victory over Maidenhead United last Saturday. Askey praised Harvey's impact, saying he makes a "big difference" when fully fit and can create chances as well as score them.
Why it matters for Truro City
Harvey's goals could be vital for Truro as they look to bounce back from relegation. The Tinners scored 42 goals last season but conceded 72, finishing 74 points behind leaders York. Askey hopes Harvey can stay injury-free and provide the firepower needed to climb the table.
What comes next for Harvey and Truro?
Truro face Chelmsford City at home on December 19, 2026, and Askey will be looking for Harvey to lead the line. The manager emphasized Harvey's football brain and ability to create chances, which will be crucial in their promotion push.
