Omari Kellyman has made 19 league appearances for Cardiff City [Huw Evans Picture Agency]
On-loan Chelsea forward Omari Kellyman hopes he can have a run of games and help with Cardiff City's promotion push.
Kellyman was back leading the line as Cardiff beat Barnsley on Tuesday, with the 20-year-old given a chance in the absence of the injured Yousef Salech.
In the first half hour of Cardiff's emphatic victory, he managed just 11 touches - the fewest of any outfield Bluebirds player.
But Kellyman says he "continued to do the right things" and his perseverance paid off when he teed up Chris Willock for his fourth goal of the season.
"Me and Chris are good friends," Kellyman said, "so it's always nice to set each other up or to see the other one score."
Willock returned the favour shortly after the break, with Kellyman steering home Cardiff's third goal.
"In the first 60 minutes, we did the hard yards," Kellyman said.
"Everybody was doing their jobs effectively and it just sort of made it enjoyable for us in the end. Before you know it, the goals start flying in and we get rewards from our hard work."
Kellyman has set himself ambitious personal targets for the season and hopes that a goal and assist against Barnsley can be the catalyst.
"Hopefully I can go on a little run and continue, but at the end of the day, it's all about performances and winning games," he said.
Kellyman says he has learned from fellow forwards Salech and Callum Robinson and is embracing the prospect of playing his part in a promotion bid over the next three months.
"Being in a title race is something I've never done before," he said.
"Obviously, I'm still young, but it's a great experience. I'm just soaking it all in."
