Davies said: “This year is the most important season for us in terms of where we need to be as a club.
“I have previously said we want to be part of the South or East of Scotland league in the future.
“But we can’t even contemplate that if we are not in the top league in our current setup.

The Cobras challenged at the top of their league for the bulk of last season only to fall away in the final months of the campaign.
Since then Davies has overseen a massive turnaround in players.
He believes they’re now better set up to last the distance this term.

“This year I believe we also have the right attitude in the changing room to allow us to challenge to the end.
“Last season our finish was disappointing. We had been challenging for the title, then for second place and in the end we were hanging on for third place.
“We’ve not had much time to recharge our batteries but I’ve been desperate to get back to the action.

“We’ve kept a solid core of players and brought in a good group off guys along with making a conscious effort to add some younger players.
“I’m happy with the direction we are going in.”
