Hartlepool United boss Danny Wilson was happy with midfielder Willie Boland's debut for the club in the 2-1 victory over Boston United.
The 31-year-old former Cardiff City and Coventry City schemer showed up well in the Pools engine room and Wilson is confident that Boland will prove to be a success.
He said: "He is one of those players who are comfortable sitting there and who understand the game.
"That is why we signed Willie and he gave us that bit of steel, balance and discipline we need.
"The first 45 minutes he was finding his feet. He has trained with the guys, but it's not the same as playing.
"But he has a lot of experience and he's one of those old-school players who just get on with it and it won't take him long to settle in."
