Kal Naismith's Pompey hunger

The winger is fighting for inclusion against Leyton Orient tomorrow after making a return at Morecambe.

Naismith made his first start since November at the Globe Arena, playing a key role in his side’s goal with a surging run.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed a stop-start opening to his Blues career, after arriving on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Accrington in the summer.

Now he is out to show what he’s capable of.

Naismith said: ‘I’ve got the hunger to show everyone what I can do.

‘I’ve got the hunger to prove to the supporters, prove to myself, the manager and everyone.

‘If I get a run of games I’ll get better and better.

‘But it’s up to me to earn that by working hard and doing my best any time I do go in.

‘In time, I hope the Portsmouth fans see a lot more of me.’

After impressing in a loan spell at Hartlepool, Naismith wants to stay put at Pompey, where he is now becoming more at home.

He said: ‘I’m intending on being around for the rest of the season.

‘I’m definitely more settled now.

‘I enjoyed playing Tuesday and I’m at a great club with a great bunch of lads and a great coaching staff.
