Liam Lawrence focusing on Cardiff City

Liam Lawrence has insisted that his sole focus is on Cardiff City's quest for promotion to the Premier League.

The winger is only on loan at the Cardiff City Stadium from Portsmouth, who are currently unable to afford his wages.

Despite uncertainty surrounding his future beyond the current season, Lawrence has revealed that he is only concentrating on helping the Welsh club achieve promotion to the top flight.

"I am not thinking beyond this season right now," said Lawrence. "My whole focus is on Cardiff City and doing everything I can to help them into the play-offs.

"We know what has to be done and that means earning a win, or at least a draw, against Crystal Palace away this Saturday.

"We will go to win and feel we are more than capable of achieving that."

Cardiff are currently sixth in the Championship table.
