Chris Martin has praised manager Nigel Pearson for putting his faith in him this season, five years after the manager wasted little time in loaning him out to Fulham following his appointment at Derby County.
The Bristol City manager has complimented the veteran's professionalism throughout the season having scored his 11th and 12th in the 5-0 victory at home to Hull on Saturday. It was the 33-year-old's 44th game of the season, having started 42 coming back from a serious injury that limited him to 26 appearances last campaign.
Martin's form and fitness have seen the striker become one of the first names on the team-sheet, helping spearhead City's ruthless attacking trio that have scored 42 goals between them this season.
