Clapham keen to cement County spot

The 34-year-old had a stop-start beginning to the 2009/10 campaign, making most of his limited appearances from the Magpies bench.But under new boss Hans Backe he is determined to hold down his place in the starting XI.He told the club's official website: "I didn't start the season but you have to keep believing and I believe in my ability. I kept my head down and kept working hard."There is a new manager now and hopefully I'm impressing him."He added: "Whoever's involved knows that the team will get changed if you don't perform. I see it every day that we have a lot of talent. Everyone will get an opportunity and you need to enjoy it."
