"The confidence shows each week when you are going out there and winning games."

Ciaran Clark is confident he is playing as well as he has in his career as he dreams of a trip to the World Cup finals.

The 27-year-old Republic of Ireland defender has returned to the Premier League with Newcastle after playing a key role in their promotion from the Sky Bet Championship following his switch from Aston Villa in August last year.
