NGala eyeing game time

Plymouth defender Bondz N'Gala is hoping to become a regular fixture in the first team this season. The former West Ham man joined the Pilgrims on a permanent contract earlier this summer after impressing during a loan spell at Home Park last season. N'Gala is hoping to do enough to break into Peter Reid's starting line-up for the opening game of the season at Southampton as he looks to help Plymouth to promotion back into the Championship at the first attempt. "It is early days in pre-season and we've still got six weeks to get much fitter for the start of the season," he told the club's official website. "There has been a lot of ball-work so far, as there was at West Ham, so it's been quite enjoyable. "My aims and ambitions are, firstly, to get in the starting line-up for the Southampton game, and push on from there. "It's exciting. This is the first time I've come back for pre-season looking to get in a starting line-up. I hope to push on and, hopefully, we can win promotion."
