JOSH BURCHELL has solved manager Neil Cugley's conundrum and revealed who really is the good, the bad and the ugly.

Burchell, who turns 22 on Monday, has signed a contract extension to keep him at the club to the end of next season after impressing on the left of midfield.

He joins mates Josh Vincent and Liam Dickson in signing new deals but his boss Cugs labelled his players as the "good, the bad and the ugly" – and he didn't know which was which.

Luckily Burchell was on hand to help.

He said: "It's easy. I'm the good, obviously, the bad is JV and the ugly one is Dicko.

"It's good to get the contract signed up to join players like Kingy (Stuart King) and (Jack) Delo next season.

"I've been enjoying it this year and it's been a good one – I'm probably playing as well as I have for Folkestone.

"I enjoy playing left midfield as it gives me freedom going forward and I can express myself.

"We're a tight bunch as we've all grown up together – me, Dicko, Friendy (Liam Friend) and JV have played with each other for ages."

Burchell joked: "Dicko's an all right player but he's not as good as me, neither is JV.

"Kingy has an eye for goal but I'm probably better than him too!

Left-back Dickson plays behind Burchell in Invicta's 4-4-2 formation and they're close off the pitch too. Well, before the game at least.

Burchell explained: "I get really nervous before matches. Before the Boxing Day game with Hythe I was even nervous on Christmas night – I went to bed early because of it.

"You'll always catch me on the toilet before I go out for a game – the only one who'd be in there after me is Dicko!

"I've always been nervous but when the whistle goes it all changes and I can relax.

"Before the games I speak a lot to Smithy (Darren Smith) who's brilliant with settling us down. If I'm nervous he's always there.

"I'm enjoying my football and I'd love to go as far as I can in the game."

Burchell was given his break in Ryman League football when the money ran out at Invicta in the 2008-09 season.

Since then he's gone on to play 160 games for his hometown club.

Burchell said: "It was bad for the club when the money dried up but from a personal point of view, and for my footballing career, I loved it.

"I saw it as a way to break through and show what I can do and it's worked out for me.

"Hopefully we can push on for promotion this year and make it a season to remember."
