Crystal Palace striker Wayne Andrews has admitted his future may lie away from Selhurst Park after Clinton Morrison's arrival looks to have pushed him further down the attacking pecking order.

Andrews, who joined the Eagles just over a year ago from Colchester United, is concerned the return of Morrison will mean another year out of the first team frame, which is something the bubbly striker is keen not to repeat.

Andrews said: "I don't want to have another year just training and playing in the reserves. It's not the same.

"I want to finish training on a Thursday and look forward to playing on a Saturday, now I have just got to wait and see. But to be honest, because there's Macca Jon Macken, Dougie Freedman, AJ and now Clinton it's going to be harder to push through this year."

The 28-year-old was linked with a late move to Bristol City during the summer transfer window, after Robins manager Brian Tinnion expressed an interest in bringing Andrews to the League One club.

The former Aldershot and Oldham striker admitted a move to Ashton Gate would have been appealing, but was informed by Palace Director of Football Bob Dowie that any move away from Selhurst Park was doubtful at that time.

Andrews said: "I spoke to Bob Dowie and he said that it was too late for any potential deal. But if playing first team football means having to leave for somewhere for a month, then that's something I'll look at."

If Andrews does seal a move away from the Eagles, he would not consider himself as a failure for not cementing a first team place.

Andrews said: "It's hard. It's been a year since I signed, I haven't really played until the Plymouth game and when I have played I've been out on the right wing so I've had to adjust to a different position.

"But I don't see myself as a failure because I haven't really played.

Andrews also denied speculation he is set to represent Barbados in their bid to qualify for this summer's World Cup finals.

The Paddington-born striker would qualify to play as his mother was born in Barbados, but admitted when he received an offer it was simply the wrong time.

Andrews said: "That all came up the summer before I came to Palace, there was a lot of talk about it. So I ended up squashing it.

"I wanted to go through the right channels, it wasn't really the right way to go. I was rung up and asked if I wanted to play that summer in a Gold Cup tournament, but I couldn't just up and leave.

"Me and Boycie can play for them, and Tom Soares and Fitz. But in the future if the opportunity came up I'd consider it to make my mother proud, but at the moment it's a no-goer."
