LONDON, CMC – Bermuda forward Nahki Wells says he is “hungry” for more goals after finding himself in a purple patch of form for Bristol City in the English Championship.
The 33-year-old endured an indifferent first half of the season but has now netted four times in as many games, bumping his tally for the season up to eight.
His latest strike came last weekend when he scored an injury-time penalty to earn City a late 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town at Ashton Gate.
“I’m hungry, hungry for that [form] to continue, of course. It’s been a good April for myself and for the team, and long may that continue,” said Wells, who spent three seasons at Huddersfield.
“As strikers, we’re hungry, greedy, and always want more, and that will never change. So I’m happy to get another one, happy that it’s an important goal for us, and happy to keep the run going—that’s the most important thing beyond the goals as individuals.
“We want to keep the run going, pick up another point, and keep moving in the right direction.”
City are now unbeaten in their last five games and produced a statement win last Wednesday by thrashing Blackburn Rovers 5-0 at home, with Wells firing in a double.
The southwest England outfit is now 12th in the Championship, on 58 points, with only five games left in the season.
Wells said City was now bracing for a difficult trip away to Norwich City in their next weekend game but was also confident.
“[We need] a little rest, which we deserve. We had a relentless schedule, of course, so [we need] a bit of rest and then get back in and get in training for that fixture,” he said.
“It’s a tough one, of course. Going away to Norwich is never easy. It’s one of the in-form sides in the division.
“[It’s] a tough place to go from a history of going there, and [they’re] a good side. We go there full of confidence, looking to get more points.”
