ANTHONY PILKINGTON’S FUTURE at Norwich City is up in the air.
Caretaker boss Neil Adams was appointed on a permanent basis yesterday and that could usher Pilkington towards the door.
The injury-hit midfielder made just 15 league appearances last season as Norwich were relegated to the Championship.
The Canaries took up the option to extend his contract until the summer of 2015 but there are still question marks over his future at Carrow Road.
“[Adams] came in towards the end of last season and I wasn’t really in his plans,” Pilkington said after Ireland’s training session in Malahide this morning.
“I’m just concentrating on playing for Ireland, hopefully playing well and get some games in and then see what happens when I get back over there.
“I wasn’t really in the manager’s plans towards the end of the season so I’ll have to wait and see.”
Pilkington sat out the Premier League run-in with a hip injury but now the winger hopes to see plenty of action in Ireland’s four end-of-season friendlies, starting with Sunday’s game against Turkey.
“Every game is a shop window and you want to do your best in every game that you play in. I’m happy to be over here and back playing and hopefully I can get some game time.
“I haven’t played for a long time so obviously my match fitness and my match sharpness won’t be as good as they could be but hopefully I can use these games to get it back again.”

@Joe O’Doherty: love your profile pic
We know which one is Hallgrimsson, no need to draw a big red circle around his face.
Talk is over. Do it on the pitch!
@Simon Dwyer: You’ve got to admire them though. Haven’t produced a decent performance in forever and still feeling positive!
I miss the 90s and early 2000′s back then i was so excited about games now its a struggle to look forward to games
Ah I know things are not great at the moment but I’m sure our players don’t go out to lose and best of luck to Nathan and the.rest of the lads
I fear if we don’t get a point in this group of games we won’t in the rest
@Leighton Cullen: Have to agree with you there. I know it’s arguably the worst metric to gauge it on but if Finland lost 3-0 to Greece and we lost 2-0… surely this is our best chance of scoring a goal let alone bagging a point or three!? Helsinki not the easiest place to go granted, but it’s now or never in this relegation battle.
Shows how far we’ve slipped down the ladder when Finland have struggled to barely sell 15k tickets for tonight, but the England game sold out in minutes. Hard to disagree with the Finnish public.
Another lost
@Alan Moloney: Most likely
