Torquay United striker Deon Moore is playing with a "point to prove" according to manager Jimmy Ball.
The 26-year-old was Ball's first signing when he took over as Gulls boss in March, agreeing a deal until the end of the season after leaving Maidstone United.
Moore has repaid the faith Ball has shown in him - scoring six goals in nine appearances as Torquay finished third in National League South.
Moore has found the net six times in the last four games, including a brace in the 4-2 play-off semi-final win over Dorking Wanderers last week that set up Saturday's play-off final at Hornchurch.
"I like Deon as a player. I experienced playing against him a couple of times," Ball told BBC Radio Devon.
"I'd heard some really good things about him, there was obviously a falling out at Maidstone and some not nice things said about him.
"But I trusted my gut after meeting him, talking with him and he's shown to be what he was and he's playing with a bit of a point to prove and a chip on his shoulder, which I love."
'These games are very, very difficult'

Moore is likely to be Torquay's biggest goal threat as they try and end their three-year stay in the sixth tier.
They travel to a Hornchurch side that finished one place above them in the table.
