Boston United boss Craig Elliott wants Fraser Preston to 'nail down' a position in the starting line-up that will allow him to excel.

The Pilgrims expect big things from the young attacker this year, with Elliott already tipping the 22-year-old to forge out a successful career in the Football League.

Preston's versatility was important to United last season as he played out wide and in a central road.

But now Elliott wants the former Sheffield Wednesday player to make a slot his own.

"I think that'll be the biggest thing for him and me, to nail him down to a position that gets the best out of him," Elliott said.

"I know at Sheff Wednesday he was successful on the right, cutting in. But he had some really good games for us on the left and also a couple of very strong games where he looked like he could score goals down the middle.

"We need to be careful we don't move him around too much and try to nail him down to a position where he knows where he is and what's needed of him."
