York City goalkeeper Michael Ingham is the best in the Blue Square Premier according to the club’s goalkeeping coach Simon Miotto.

The 40-year-old Aussie combines that role with being registered as an understudy to the former Northern Ireland international shot-stopper, who produced an outstanding display in the narrow victory at Kidderminster Harriers last night.

“Michael is a very talented guy who I knew about before I came to the club, but he`s had the run of games now that he wanted in somebody`s team,” Miotto told The Press.

“I think he`s the best `keeper in the Blue Square Premier and he`s playing exceptionally well so he just needs to maintain his sharpness and form.

“Goalkeepers mature later in life, as I did, and Michael still has the potential to become a better `keeper at 29 because he has everything, including a big frame, and I want to help him improve,” he continued.

“I would be ready to play if called upon but, hand on heart, nobody wants anything to happen to Michael.

“We need him to keep playing exceptionally well and get the club promoted back to the Football League.”

He also had words of praise for youngster Josh Mimms, who has only tasted first-team action once this term.

“I really think he can make it in the game though. He`s young, athletic, ambitious and hungry,” said Miotto.
