Frazer To Push Our Kelly

Last updated : 17 December 2003 By Kevin Markey

The promising defender had a months loan with the Potteries club and he now hopes to push first choice right back Gary Kelly for a place.

He made his Premiership debut earlier in the season against Southampton and was an unused sub against Fulham on Sunday.

He told Leeds' official website: "It's good to be back with the boys again.

"But it's been good to play first team football and get more experience under my belt.

"I think I am a more rounded player now, my defending has improved dramatically since the beginning of the season.

"Hopefully I can take that forward into coming back here and hopefully doing well here.

"I am optimistic, I do believe I can make it here. I just want to get some games under my belt here and hopefully Eddie can involve me more than I have been.

"I am the only other right back here and that could bode well in the near future because there are a lot of games coming up over the Christmas period and a few injuries here and there and I might be in there.

"Gary (Kelly) has supported me and he's been there every step of the way for me from when I was a youth trainee.

"I can remember him coming up to me and introducing himself, he was one of my heroes as a lad."
