Wales Looks To His Killie Future!

Kilmarnock' mid-week, 2 goal hero Gary Wales revealed he had been relishing his new lease of life since Kris Boyd's departure....

His two clinical finishes proved the difference between Killie and Motherwell in a crunch Bank of Scotland Premier League clash at Rugby Park. (Feb 8th 2006). Now the former Hearts frontman is also set to agree a new two-year contract to stay with former Tynecastle boss Jim Jefferies at the Ayrshire outfit.

Walsey Said...."I just really want to play. I feel I should be playing and am ready to play. I am glad I am here. I know the gaffer and the gaffer knows what I am capable of. Big Kris has left and it is up to me to take the chance. I don't see the contract being a problem, there is just one or two wee changes. I didn't feel I performed but I am obviously pleased I got two chances and two goals out of it and more importantly we are looking at making a bit of a gap and so it is starting to take shape. Our real aim is the top six and that specifically helped us,"

On His Recent Nose Break (in training).... "It was a freakish training ground incident when Killie youngster Ryan O'Leary caught me with a boot. I was speaking to a specialist and he said there was an option to have the operation and be out for eight weeks or maybe leave things till the summer and see how it is. I just thought I would take my chances now."

Jim Jefferies Feb 9th on Gary Wales's Form... "He has had to be patient because Boyd was in there getting goals but I said when Boyd left Gary would move up the pecking order and he is getting back to his best. His two finishes were excellent. When you get to a place he is comfortable with he can enjoy his football again."
