Buxton glad of starting shirt

Posted on: Fri 13 Nov 2009

Lewis Buxton insists he will play anywhere for the good of the team after impressing at centre half in the Owls' last two games.

The utility man formed an excellent partnership with Richard Hinds against Bristol City and QPR, handing manager Brian Laws plenty of food for thought moving forward.

But Buxton, who has played chiefly in a right back berth this season, says he will slot into any position that Laws sees fit.

He told Wednesday Player: "People have said that I have done well at centre half but I'm happy to play wherever I am picked. I do feel comfortable at centre half and if the manager wants me to play there, I am happy to do so.

"When I first got into the side at Portsmouth I played there most of the time, but later on in my career at Stoke, I've just played at right back. My personal goal now is to play every week."

To that end, Buxton acknowledges that the added competition in the camp this season will give Laws the kind of headache that managers prefer.

He added: "We have a few centre backs and Frank at right back, that's always a good thing for the side.

"The competition for places gives everyone that extra push and I think it gives the manager something to think about."
