Fulham defender Briggs hoping for more first team action

Fulham defender Matthew Briggs is hoping to become more of a regular feature after making his Premier League debut against Chelsea last week.

Briggs is emerging as the brightest young talent to come through the Fulham system in years.

"It's a massive leap for me," Briggs told fulhamfc.com. "I've got my foot in the door and I've got to keep it there now. I've just got to prove myself.

"From playing against Millwall reserves to playing against the Champions was a big step and the pace of the game was a lot quicker. Playing against the likes of Drogba and Kalou was a big challenge. The players all told me that I did well so I've got to take that on board and move on from there."
