Playing in the Welsh Cup final back in 1999 for Carmarthen and playing in the Intertoto Cup against AIK Stockholm at the Rasunda Stadium. 

Q2) Why did you leave Carmarthen for Haverfordwest?

I felt I needed a new challenge and needed to be playing reqularly. 

Q3) What do you, and your team-mates feel about having such a young manager?

Deryn may be a young manager, but he's had plenty of Football league experience with Wrexham, and I have learnt a lot from having played alongside him, and the whole team have the utmost respect for him. 

Q4) Are you confident that Haverfordwest can avoid yet another relegation battle this season, after getting off to such a good start?

Without doubt. We have quality in the side with one or two additions this season. We've had an excellent start and confidence is high in the camp. 

Q5) Do you think Haverfordwest could ever begin to challenge for a top 7 finish, and why?

Finishing in the top 7 is our main aim. We are winning games and are enjoying the feeling. We've learnt from last season's mistakes and hope to continue our early season form. 

Q6) What are your football ambitions, and do you ever think you could make  it into the pro game?

My ambition is to play well for Haverfordwest and hopefully force my way into the Welsh Non-League internationals at the end of the season. As for turning pro, I would relish the opportunity, but if I can win anything with Haverfordwest, I'll be more than happy. 

Q7) Do you prefer playing at left back or left midfield?

My favourite position is left wing-back as I get plenty of opportunity to get forward, but I don't mind where I play as long as the manager picks me. 

Q8) Who is the toughest opponent you have ever faced whilst playing in the Welsh Premier?

There's a lot of tough opponents in the Welsh Premier. Justin Wickham of Newtown and Glyndwr Hughes of Aberystwyth always give me a good run-out.

Q9) Many supporters and players complain about the standard of refereering in the Welsh Premier. Do you feel it is a significant problem, and is the standard improving at all?

I think the refereeing has definately improved over the last couple of seasons. It's a tough job and you have to try and remember that they are out to enjoy the game as well as the players.

Q10) Finally, who would be in your star Welsh Premier XI team?

1. Lee Kendall 
2. David Barnhouse 
3. Tim Edwards 
4. Andrew Yorke
5. Gary Finlay 
6. Simon Davies 
7. Gareth Owen 
8. Glyndwr Hughes 
9. Graham Evans 
10. Marc Lloyd Williams 
11. Justin Wickham

Many thanks Wayne, and we wish you and Haverfordwest all the best for this season and beyond.
