Wellington Phoenix striker says he is ready to step up this weekend to help the club grab a top-four position. The Phoenix are at home against Central Coast Mariners and a win would see them clinch a home semi-final and the English-born Barbadian attacker knows he needs to perform well to help them achieve that goal.

"I've managed to still get on the score sheet in the last few games, but not really had a decent performance I don't think," Ifill said.

Despite netting ten goals in his debut A-League season, Ifill believes his form can improve and plans to put in a big performance at Westpac Stadium on Friday night.

"In the last month I've been pretty quiet by my standards, so it's about time I stepped up to really get ourselves in that top four," he added.
