REDS midfielder David Perkins is full of confidence ahead of the new season.

Perkins, 31, won the club's player of the year award last season and he believes success is on the cards if they can fulfil their potential.

"There’s a big buzz around the club and the town ahead of the new season," he said. "All the lads have come back in brilliant shape and we’ve taken the buzz from last year and taken that into our pre-season.

"Hopefully we can keep the momentum we got from staying up last season and build on that. To be honest we can do anything we put our minds to."
