SOUTHEND United striker Barry Corr is out to prove he is not a one-season wonder.
The targetman bagged a career-best 21 goals last term.
And he is determined to do even better next time around.
“It was pleasing to get that number of goals but next year I want to get even more,” said Corr, 26.
“My target has always been to improve on the year before and that’s not going to change.
“Making sure I stay fit is what matters the most because if I get games then I always think I will get goals too.”
Up until last season, Corr’s best campaign in front of goal had been with Exeter City when he netted six times during 2009/10.
Following his goal-getting form last term he is now expected to score on a consistent basis.
But he does not feel under more pressure to perform.
“I don’t anything has really changed to be honest,” said the Irishman.
“I’ve always had a good games-to-goal ratio and I want that to continue next year so I can have an even better season.”
Corr looks set to line-up alongside Neil Harris in a new-look strikeforce for Southend.
And he cannot wait to team up with the former Millwall forward who recently put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Roots Hall.
“I was so excited when I found out we had signed Neil and I think he’s a quality signing for the club,” said Corr.
