Nathan Byrne determined to secure Wolves place

Winger Nathan Byrne is hoping to kick on and win a place in the team after notching his first goal in Wolves colours.

Byrne came off the bench to get Wolves back in the game with a fine volley against Leeds.

His game time has been heavily restricted of late, but the 23-year-old said he wasn't going to have a strop about not being in the team.

"I know that I can make a difference and can change games whether starting or coming off the bench," he said.

"Everyone wants to be starting but I am not going to be in a strop if I don't because there are some very good players here.

"I know that if I can keep working I can keep improving and can be a big part of the squad.

"I have been at clubs before and, without being cocky or big-headed, you kind of know that you are starting.

"Sometimes that can make you a bit complacent, but the competition that is here is the strongest I have ever come up against.

"To get in the team you have got to be training great and playing great and I feel that I am training well.

"All I can do is keep working hard and improving my game and then the rest is up to everyone else."

Byrne is confident he can add goals and assists to Kenny Jackett's team. But the priority for all concerned is three points at Hillsborough tomorrow afternoon.

"People can see that there is no dent in our team spirit or our work-rate," he added.

"We all want the same

thing, to get up the league and into the top six – that is our

aim.

"The defeat against Leeds was a blow, but we definitely believe we can go to Sheffield Wednesday and get a good result.

"We want to put right what happened on Thursday night."
