Chris Martin hopes to finish season "really strongly" for Derby County

Derby County striker Chris Martin is hopeful that the team can finish the Championship season "strongly" as they currently sit in the playoff places.

Derby County striker Chris Martin is hopeful that he and his teammates can end the Championship season on a high note.

The Rams were flying in the top two in February, but the team have since dropped to fifth in the table following three wins in 11 games.

Martin spent over a month on the sidelines with injury, but the striker returned last weekend to score in Derby's 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic.

"Hopefully this gives us a little bit of momentum," Martin told BBC Radio Derby. "It's been difficult for us as players and for those watching, but it can galvanise you and the fans have been magnificent. Hopefully this kicks us on and we can finish the season really strongly."

Derby are five points adrift of the top two with five games left to play.
