DAVID Edgar hopes to repay the faith shown in him by manager Alan Shearer by doing enough to keep his place in the Newcastle United side during their six-game relegation run-in.
The Canadian came in from the cold against Stoke on Saturday and put in an assured display at the heart of a three-man backline alongside Habib Beye and Sebastien Bassong.
And Edgar, who was making his first start since December, is looking to stay in the team for next weekend's trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
"It was the first time I have played in my natural position this season," said Edgar. "And, hopefully, I can stay in the team.
"It was great for me, and great to hear that the gaffer has faith in me.

"Now I want to stay in the team and help to keep us in the Premier League."
It was Edgar's best friend Andy Carroll who came from the bench to head a late equaliser for United as he steered home Damien Duff's centre in the 81st minute.

And Edgar added: "It was a great header. I looked up in the air and wondered how he was going to get there, but he did, and we're all very happy.
"He's got that in his locker, and he's done it again."
