Although on the substitutes' bench for some matches it was early March before he returned to the side on a regular basis.  In his 29 appearances Ollie gained the reputation for scoring spectacular and important goals. Scoring on his debut in the first match of the season against Torquay United - this goal was voted the Silkmen's best goal of the season and was also included in BT Sports Season Top 10 Goals for the Vanarama National League.
