Bradley Wright-Phillips is hoping the departure of Kenwyne Jones will see him lose his super sub tag.

The £750,000 striker spent most of his first season at Saints coming off the bench to try and inject pace and goals late on.

But with Jones moving to Sunderland for £6m, there is a vacancy as a first choice starter up for grabs.

Wright-Phillips staked his claim with an excellent display alongside Grzegorz Rasiak against Stoke last weekend.

He said: "I don't want to be known as a super sub.

"It's not bad in a way because you are making an impression, but I do want to start. Every striker wants to play.

"Good luck to Kenwyne, who is a good player, but it's a good chance for me and hopefully I can take it.

"This is my chance to show the manager".
