"It's just been a confidence thing I think," he said. "When I was coming back from injury I just wanted to make sure that if I got the opportunity to play as a striker that I would show the manager what I could do.
"And when I got that chance it gave me the confidence to flourish. That's been really key to my form. I'm happy, and now I just need to kick on from here."

The 22-year-old striker spent most of his time on loan before an injury stalled his progress, but returned back strongly in December and won the Player of the Month in January.

He spent time at Newport and Sunderland before returning to Bristol City last summer.

He has since scored six goals and provided seven assists as Bristol City climbed to 16th on the English Championship table.
