The forgotten England international is glad to be having a run in the first team after missing most of the start of the season with a knee injury.
"I just need games now. The season's coming to an end now but I'm glad I'm getting through the games. I feel I'm getting stronger with every one." He told the official site.
"We need to go into the Villa game and try and pick up three points. We need to get tenth and that's what we're going to do. We're going to go into that game fully focused and hopefully get all three points."
