Division Two 'bad boy' Craig Fagan has vowed to clean up his act - if he is selected by Colchester United boss Phil Parkinson.
Craig Fagan
Fagan - seven yellow cards and one red - is currently topping the Nationwide League Second Division's foul play league with 27 disciplinery points.
But having just completed a three-match ban for his sending-off at Rushden and Diamonds last month, the energetic 21-year-old Birmingham City loanee goal-getter told the Evening Gazette today: "I'm determined to put this side of my game behind me if I can and just get on with playing football.
"The bad boy tag has hurt me a lot, both in my pocket and the fact that I've had to miss the last three games.
"I've been fined for my poor disciplinary record and the manager has already spoken to me about it.
"The incident at Rushden which led to my sending-off is something I shouldn't have done and most of the bookings have been stupid as well.
"The truth is I get too involved in the games I play in, but from now on I'll be trying to change."
