Matt Phillips is happy to still be a Blackpool player and is optimistic that the club can win promotion back to the Premier League.

The winger has scored nine goals in his last nine games for the Seasiders after impressing during a loan spell at Sheffield United earlier in the season.

He was wanted by several clubs during the January transfer window and was the subject of several failed bids from Cardiff City.

Phillips scored twice as Blackpool came from behind to win 3-1 at Cardiff on Saturday and he is now aiming to help the Seasiders clinch a return to the top flight.

"It was a good day and I really enjoyed it," said Phillips in the Blackpool Gazette. "This team believes it can do really good things.

"We all believe we can get automatic promotion but we are just silently going about our business. We are creeping up the table nicely, so who knows what it is going to happen?

"It is nice to know other clubs are looking at me and are interested, but I am contracted to Blackpool and happy to be here. I want to help the club get promoted.

"I go into every game aiming to give 100 per cent and I am not happy unless I have had a good game.

"I am pleased to have gone to Cardiff and played well, but there was no added pressure. I just went out there and played my normal game."
