In search of another chance in the blue and white of Wigan Athletic, he told the Wigan Evening Post: "Maybe I can stake a claim. I still have Antonio Valencia and Ryan Taylor in front of me and they have been doing extremely well.
"Any player is frustrated when they don't play, but hopefully I do have a future here. I'm enjoying working with the gaffer. He has brought fresh ideas in and all the lads enjoy the training.
"He wants us to work hard and definately gets the best out of the players as results have started to show. It was nice to get my first run out for a while at Sunderland, and nice to socre a goal too which finished the game off.
"Hopefully I did enough to show the manager I'm still about."
The Latics next face Derby County on Saturday at Pride Park where former manager Paul Jewell lies in wait.
