Hull City midfielder Tom Cairney aims to be at the heart of the club's promotion challenge next season.[LNB] Cairney, 20, a product of the Tigers' youth system, made his first-team breakthrough in the Premier League two years ago, but was in and out of Nigel Pearson's starting line-up during the last campaign.[LNB]Cairney said: "In terms of competitiveness I personally believe that the Championship is one of the hardest leagues out there.[LNB]"You have to be at the top of your game every time you play if you want any success. It's a relentless season with the volume of games played, so there's no doubt that the full squad will have a vital part to play over the coming months.[LNB]"With the quality within the camp, as well as the team spirit around the place, I feel that we have to be positive in our thinking and challenge at the right end of the table."[LNB]Cairney added: "I felt that I did well in the Premier League, but was a bit on-off last season. I'm determined to prove my worth though and I'm desperate to claim a regular place in midfield."
