West Ham's striker Carlton Cole hopes that his goal against Fulham at the weekend will help him in his hunt for a new contract at Upton Park. The striker is on a short term deal at Sam Allardyce's club.

Cole came off the bench to score a goal in the 3-0 win over Fulham and many fans are hoping the forward will earn a new deal at the club.<br />

"Once you score you feel you can get in a rhythm and score more so hopefully there will be more to come for me now," said Cole.<br />

"Hopefully they will be important goals. I want to keep the momentum and doing the right thing.<br />

"It's up to the manager. I can only play my best and try to play to my capacity on the field. Whatever they will do in the future is beyond my control.<br />

"We'll see how it goes. I'm fit now, I've always been working for my fitness and the manager has been waiting for the right time for me to start.<br />

"Hopefully I've done myself a favour and will get a start soon. I'll wait for the manager to make the decision."
