West Ham United defender James Collins is hoping that his recent run of form will earn him a new contract with the Hammers.

The Wales International, who is out of contract at the end of the campaign, has made seven appearances in Premier League for the Hammers this season and starred in the weekend's 0-0 draw with Swansea City.

In the wake of the Swans performance, Collins said: "I am out of contract in the summer so I need to look after that and perform well week in week out."
