Darlington's Scottish striker Ian Harty admits a fear of failure is all the motivation he needs to succeed.

The diminutive frontman made the move south in the summer after impressing while scoring a hat-trick as a trialist during a pre-season friendly, and says the transfer means he has to build a reputation all over again.

He is well-known as a regular goalscorer outside the top-flight in Scotland having taken in various clubs during his career, including Airdrie United, Raith, Clyde and Stranraer.

But he has had to wait patiently for his chance with Quakers, finally making his Darlington debut as a second-half substitute in last Saturday's 0-0 draw at Macclesfield Town.

He missed a good chance to score, but can expect to again be in the squad when Darlington travel to Rotherham United on Saturday.

He said: "I'm enjoying it down here, everything's new and fresh.

"It's like starting all over again because nobody knows me and I've got to prove myself again.

"Coming to England was always something that was in the back of my mind so to finally get this opportunity has been brilliant for me.

"But I know that if I don't have a decent season I'll be back up the road to Scotland.

"I'd rather do well at Darlington and stay down here for five, six years or whatever."

Darlington's new away kit is available this weekend to supporters who paid to have their name printed on it.

Quakers offered fans the opportunity to have their names on the special-edition red shirt designed to commemorate the club's 125th anniversary next year. The shirt, to be worn this and next season, will be available on Saturday and Sunday, between 10am and 4pm, at the Platinum Lounge at the Balfour Webnet Darlington Arena.

The shirts will go on general sale at the club's shops at the ground and in the town centre on Monday.
