Everton midfielder Aiden McGeady is determined to reach his potential at Goodison Park.
McGeady feels with full preseason under his belt he'll be able to prove his worth to Blues fans.
"I haven't played all that much at the club so far but I'm just looking to play as many games as I can before the end of the season and hopefully have a good summer, keep myself in good shape and come back to hit the ground running in pre-season," he told evertontv.
"It's getting into that rhythm of playing 90 minutes every week and getting up to the tempo of the Premier League. Hopefully that's what I'll do next season. The aim for me is to be in the starting XI in the first game.
"I spoke to the manager (Martinez) before we left and I said I wanted to carry on through the summer.
"I had a break at Christmas and he said I still need to give myself a rest from playing and running for a couple of weeks."
