Crystal Palace winger Paul Ifill admits he's not done enough to earn a new contract.
In a rare appearance the former Sheffield United player jumped off the bench to score in Palace's 2-0 win at Watford on Saturday.
Ifill has been beset by injury since joining the Eagles last year and knows he must overcome his back and hamstring troubles to have his contract extended next summer.
He said: "I know I've got to work hard, I've not done enough at this club to get a new contract.
"I still want to play football and I would like it to be at Palace. If it's not going to be here I need to work hard to get a contract elsewhere. It's down to me.
"If I get to January next year and I'm still having the same problems, I wouldn't sign myself, so why should anybody else?
"If the manager came out and said he was going to offer me a contract then I would have to ask why. I'm not stupid, I know I've not done enough."
He added: "It was nice to get the goal. It's been hard work but it's nice to get on the pitch and I feel quite fit.
"We've got two games left and it would be nice to be involved in some part with them and then hopefully the play-offs."
