On Tuesday night, Petrasso grabbed the opener at home to Halifax, a game that ended in a 2-1 Barnet win - the team's first three points in the league since mid-October and first victory of any kind since November 8th.

"Michael has an effect on a game," says Flowers this week.

"He's got an end product. Sometimes (with) lads, there's a hundred step-overs, a couple of Cruyff turns and then Scotch mist. He's scored three since coming back from injury and could've had a couple more. When he gets in the final third, something happens. The kid's got a little bit of something at the business end of the pitch. He's done really well and he's a nice lad - he's quiet, he's low-maintenance, he gets on with his job: he's a good kid. At the moment he's grasped the nettle and taken his chance, so fair play to him."

With Petrasso now the team's leading scorer, his form has not gone unnoticed by Barnet fans. On social media, some have even dubbed him the "Canadian Kaka".

The hard work is certainly paying off. Shortly after joining, he spoke of his objectives.

"I'd like to improve my finishing," he told us.

"And if I stay healthy and play then hopefully I'll be able to do that here."
