Since coming on as a late substitute in the opening day defeat at Villa Park, Ireland has been an ever-present in the City team, despite some tough midfield competition.
The 22-year-old Irishman has battled hard and to that end he has already matched his goal tally of four from last season and made other goals for his team mates with some fine performances along the way.
And in the November issue of the Club’s magazine, Ireland said: “I thought I might have to wait for my chance this season but it is a long campaign and I knew it would come. It did against West Ham when I set up two goals and I have not really looked back.
“When I got in the side it was up to me to make sure I took my chance. Now I hope to make that role permanently my own with a few more performances like the ones I have produced.
“There is no doubt that this is a big season for me because I feel I am over that ‘promising’ level and now an established player. Even so, I feel as if I will improve with games under my belt.
“I think last season I was used more to plug gaps and it was hard to be consistent and find my best form. This year I think I have done that but I still feel I can get even better. The more I play the more relaxed I am."
As well as the exclusive Stephen Ireland interview, the City Magazine catches up with the Blues’ fourth Brazilian, Glauber Berti for his take on City life.
First team coach and former Wales goalkeeper Eddie Niedzwiecki gives an insight on the Club’s ‘Taffia’ and his life in the game that led to his appointment with the Blues.
This month’s ‘Catching Up’ feature checks in on former Kippax idol David White and the Sideways look offers the ultimate permed City XI.
