Stoke City forward Peter Odemwingie says he has been
reinvigorated since his January move to the Britannia Stadium.
The 32-year-old made the switch to Staffordshire in the
last transfer window after spending just four months at Welsh outfit Cardiff
City, with Kenwyne Jones moving in the opposite direction.
Odemwingie has scored three times in seven appearances
for Stoke, including a brace in Saturday's 3-1 win over West Ham.
The former West Brom man says he has rediscovered his
confidence under the stewardship of Mark Hughes, and is thankful for having the
opportunity to showcase his talent.
"That's (playing games) been key," he told
reporters. "When a player lacks confidence it's a huge difference. When I
came, they gave me the chance to play 90 minutes.
"When you have the backing, the players believe in
you, it makes a difference.
"You're not playing on the pitch thinking they might
substitute me now. I feel relaxed.
"Things are going well for me. You're still nervous
sometimes because it's a new club and I want to do a lot because they gave me
that opportunity in January.
"But with time and goals, I will feel more at home
and just play my football."
