LEE Molyneux said he feels like he’s ‘never been away’ after singing for Accrington Stanley for a third time.

The 24-year-old winger has signed on loan until January after falling out of favour at Crewe.

With less than a year to run on his contract at Gresty Road, Molyneux is desperate to make a big impression at the Store First Stadium.

“It seems like I have never been away,” he said. “I have never really spent a long time away from the club.

“I know there is a new manager now but it just has the same feel around the place. It’s so familiar and I am buzzing.”

Molyneux returned for his second spell at the club towards the end of last season, and he has scored 15 goals in 60 games in total for the Reds.

When he makes his third ‘debut’ for the club Molyneux will be playing under his fourth manager at Stanley, having previously featured under Paul Cook, Leam Richardson and James Beattie.

He left the Store First Stadium in July 2013 to sign for Crewe, but admits that things having worked out as he had hoped since.

“It was the right move at the time but, with hindsight, it hasn’t worked out but that’s football and you learn,” he said.

“I was at Accrington for six months last season and then I went back to Crewe thinking I would be moved on. A few clubs came in for me but manager Steve Davis said I was in his plans.

“I played at the start of the season but haven’t for the last few weeks. I went to the manager as my contract ends in June next year and I need to be playing and not sat in the stands.”

As soon as Molyneux heard of the interest from Stanley he jumped at the chance to come back, and is now keen to help the Reds move towards the play-off positions, starting with today’s trip to Mansfield.

“When John (Coleman) and Jimmy (Bell) came in for me it was a no-brainer,” he said. “I still want to play as high as I can and I want to get a run of games and press on.

“I know John and Jimmy are looking towards the top half of the table and the play-offs and I want to be part of that. It’s just great to be back.”
