Stokes wants more this season

Hibernian striker Anthony Stokes scored 23 goals in his debut season at Easter Road but he is determined to bring more to the team this term. Stokes was quickly off the mark when he netted his side`s first goal in their 3-2 Clydesdale Bank Premier League opening victory at Motherwell. The Republic of Ireland forward swept home Hibernian`s equaliser from close range as they bounced back from an early goal by John Sutton to claim three points. And he felt he contributed more as Hibs overcame a difficult start to edge an entertaining encounter that helped banish some of the memories of their late collapse in the 6-6 Fir Park draw in May. The 22-year-old said: "I just want to try to do as much as I can for the team. Against Motherwell I think, more so than last year, I tried to help the team a little bit more. I tried to get up and win a few more headers and be a bit more physical. "Last year, in a lot of games, I scored goals but I didn`t bring a lot to the team. I obviously just want to score as many goals as possible but maybe try and do one or two bits extra."
