Parkin: Leeds Goal Highlight Of Career

Bagging the winner in our big derby at home to Leeds United last weekend has to be one of the highlights of my career. ­It was an unbelievable feeling. You only had to see the reaction of our fans to know how important it was. It was a massive game and both teams needed to win. Being a local derby gave it added spice and to get the chance to play and then score the winner was a great feeling. As a professional, that was the kind of game you want to be involved in and we were delighted to come out on top.

It didn't do Leeds' promotion hopes any favours, but that's just the way it is and we could yet do them a favour if we get decent results against some of their promotion rivals in the last few weeks of the season.

We want to carry on winning and climb as high as we can in the Championship before the end of the season.
