BLAIR Sturrock has revealed his hunger to score the goals that keep Kidderminster Harriers in the Football League.

Sturrock's impressive return of three goals in five games has coincided with a new air of confidence around Aggborough.

And the Scottish striker is convinced there is the fighting spirit and belief in the dressing room to drag Harriers to safety.

"I'm a striker who wants to score every game, I was hungry for another one after I'd scored against Lincoln and I'll be hungry for more next week," said the 23-year-old.

"I'm pleased I'm getting chances. I got the goal and another turn and shot and I tend to pick up headers off corners.

"If you get the chances you've got to take them."

In a repeat of their one and only away win of the season so far at Oxford just after Christmas, Sturrock shared the scoring with Simon Russell last weekend.

And the former Plymouth striker shares the opinion that his young midfield colleague is a precocious talent to have on board.

"He's scored a couple now and he did very well against Lincoln," he added.

"They didn't know how to handle him and he worked the channels well and played in the strikers as well.

Sturrock, who also notched against Swansea, is hoping to develop his strike partnership with Gary Birch.

But the son of Sheffield Wedn-esday manager Paul understands he will still be called upon to play the lone striker role.

"Saturday was the first time we've played right up together and we ran them ragged for a spell," he said.

"He played well and because he's strong he'll win headers and I can gamble and run off him.

"Sometimes we've got to play 4-5-1 and it's just got to be a battle.

"If I'm not winning as many headers as I should I've just got to get in front of defenders and put them off."

Having tasted two promotions at Plymouth and played at the right end of the table at Brechin, Sturrock is quickly adapting to his first relegation scrap.

He said: "Luckily I've never been in a team that was at the bottom before. I was at Brechin when we were fighting for promotion so this is my first taste of it.

"The boys are still close, nobody's down in the dumps, we're still fighting and we still know we'll stay up."

With his chances at Home Park disappearing following his father's departure, Sturrock junior felt Kidderminster was the perfect opportunity for a fresh start.

"I had two years there and won championships so they were great times," he added.

"I just wanted a wee chance and it never came, so I'm 23 and I decided I needed to kick on."
