Phillips eyes promotion push

Kevin Phillips believes he can score the goals that will fire Birmingham City back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The veteran striker has penned a two-year deal at St Andrew's after helping West Brom win promotion from the Championship last term.
Phillips told City's official website: "I'd love to have another crack at the Premier League. Yes, I had the opportunity to do that at West Brom and maybe people will criticise me for that.
"But another factor in me coming here is that, if I'd stayed at West Brom, I felt I'd have probably spent all the time on the bench and not on the field.
"Now I've got an opportunity to come here and play regular football.
"I'm not saying that I'll be playing week in and week out but I'm sure I'll play more football than I would have at West Brom and at this stage of my career that's important to me."
