Livingston defender Jackson Longridge is confident his recent run in the team shows the manager can trust him as he targets more minutes.The 27-year-old has featured in the club's last three games - the first time he's had such a run since January - and as he approaches the final six months of his contract, he's determined to prove his worth to the Premiership side.The left-back admitted there was nothing he could do given the impressive displays by both Cristian Montano and James Penrice, but says he kept giving his all in training to ensure he'd be ready when presented with the opportunity.He commented: "Because of the start we had, it was difficult for me.
I had to bide my time because Cristian Montaño was playing very well and scoring goals to win games. I had to keep being as professional as I could be and training hard to keep pushing him and wait for my time.“When he picked up an injury I got some minutes and it’s just growing confidence from that and doing what I can to help the team.
It’s not easy starting your first game against Celtic. I’ll always give 110 per cent. It’s just trying to plant a seed in the manager’s head and hopefully I can stick in the position and help the team progress.“At my age, it’s important I get as much game-time as possible.
At the start of the season, I never played and at the tail end of last season I didn’t play as much as I had hoped, but that was down to James Penrice playing well.
