Bristol Rovers' promotion campaign was joyous and memorable for all involved, but after injury forced Harvey Saunders into a bit-part role, the rapid forward is only more hungry for prominence.
The 24-year-old has starred for the Gas in pre-season, scoring four goals in his five appearances. A superb lob against Melksham Town got him up and running before following that up with a superb brace at Chippenham Town. Saunders' fourth of an eye-catching summer came as a substitute in Tuesday's victory over Stoke City at the Mem, racing onto the end of Harry Anderson's through ball and tucking away the chance with confidence.
Last season was a paradoxical one for Saunders. He was delighted to be part of a collective success, with Rovers roaring to promotion, but it was a campaign that started promisingly for the forward on a personal note, only for injury issues to intervene.
