Millwall striker Steve Morison is confident of scoring goals in the Championship.

Morison has netted 38 times for the Lions in the last two seasons.

The Welsh forward and Lee Gregory were one of the most feared strike partnerships in League One.

Morison, 33, left Leeds and dropped down a division to re-join Millwall in 2015, and insists he can still cut it in the second tier.

The former Norwich man said: “I was starting to find my feet again after a bad 18 months at Leeds. I was ready to get going in the Championship. The powers that be did not want me there, which is fine.

“It was not the manager at all, it was the people above him. Millwall has been a good move for me.

“I want to be playing there [in the Championship] and there is no reason why I cannot score goals there.

“A team like ours, with the way we play and all play for each other we are going to create chances. If we do that we have players who will score goals.”

Millwall have recruited wisely over the summer, bringing in seven new players.

One of the arrivals is powerful striker Tom Elliott, who scored 13 goals for AFC Wimbledon in the 2016/17 campaign.

He will provide much-needed competition for Morison and Gregory, who barely had a rest last term.

And it is competition that Morison is relishing.

He added: “I’m going to have to play a lot of games, but that’s why the gaffer has brought in Tom Elliott. “I have competition that maybe I have not had for the last couple of seasons. Hopefully that will bring the best out of me and the best out of him as well.

“It is going to be tough to keep my place. But I am in good shape and there is no reason why I cannot do that.”
