Ryan Fraser says he won't 'mope' about playing time as he vows to give his all for Newcastle United

Ryan Fraser has vowed to give his all when called upon by Steve Bruce.

Speaking ahead of Friday's game against Aston Villa, Fraser said he was ready to 'give his all' as the club fight off the threat of relegation.

Fraser has only started eight games in his debut season at Newcastle United due to injuries and suspension.

Fraser said: "I haven't played too much this season so it's when I'm called upon it's just about giving my all.

"Any way I can help the team, even when I'm not playing, I still want to win - [fight for safety] it's not a nice position to be in but there's no point moping about it, we just need to go and do our stuff and get ourselves out of it.

"Yeah of course, when I'm called up I want to do the best for the team, the fans and myself.

"I want to show the best of me but with injuries, not playing, and other things happening - it's just one of those things. I'm not going to mope about it.

"When I'm called upon, I'm going to do my best and that is all you can do.

"I'm going to try and get a run in the team, which I haven't had this season and just give my all really for the fans, the team and the club."

The Magpies head into the game against Villa just a point above the drop zone - and with just two wins in the Premier League in the last 16 games.

Villa lie 9th in the table - but have only won once in their last five.

"We know they're a good team," Fraser told NUFC TV, "but we know if we're at our best we can beat them.

"So we just need to focus on ourselves, how we can hurt them - and that is what we have been doing over the last couple of days.

"The lads are looking good.

"Training has been really good to be fair - as it has been over the last two months now. "
