West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox is eyeing a regular start with the Baggies next season.
Now the former Swindon man is gearing up for the new season confident he is a vastly improved player from the fast-talking youngster who arrived two years ago.
"I am a hugely different player," the 24-year-old, whose stunning equaliser at Tottenham at the end of last season earned him the Baggies' goal of the season crown, told the Express & Star.
"I am a lot more mentally strong and physically a lot stronger too.
"When I first came here I had just been on holiday to Egypt, I was ill and I wasn't really ready for what was going to happen. I had to wait for my time.
"But now I feel strong and fit and I feel that this is going to be a really good year for me. I hope it will be."
