BURY defender Tom Kennedy has set himself a target as he bids to establish a regular first-team spot.

"I've just got to sustain a good run of form," said the 21-year-old left-back.

"My form has been indifferent since I came into the team over the last couple of years.

"I've had a couple of good games, then a couple of bad games, but I need 15 or 20 games of quality and we will see how we go from there.

"I was a 19-year-old kid when I first made the team and there were times when I was dragged off at half-time but that's made me a stronger person. I've learnt from that and I am determined to improve.

"Every game last season was a must-win one with so much pressure on you. In contrast, we want to go out and enjoy our football this season." Tweet
