The 34 year old was the subject of approaches by a number of clubs when it was announced he would be leaving the Blue Square North side but he decided to move back to the Knitters after a year away.
"I originally left during the financial problems although I didn't want to have to leave the club. I went to Corby with a few of the lads and there were a few of us driving there, but then soon after that it was just me as some had been let go or moved on."
"I am 34 now and I didn't want to be going up and down the motorway a few times a week by myself. Nuneaton came in and I started the first eight games but then they bought in a new midfielder and I didn't want to be just sitting on the bench getting paid, I wanted to be playing week in week out." Lavery continued.
In the interview with the Hinckley Times Lavery says he hopes his experience will have a positive impact on the young players who line up alongside him for the Knitters first team.
"I thought they had a young squad at Nuneaton, but here it is even younger, after me I think the next oldest is about 25. Hopefully they can learn from myself and Dean Thomas [manager] and we can kick on now."
