Liam Morrison is open-minded about what the future holds but believes Aberdeen fans are now seeing the best of him after a "tough" start to his Pittodrie career.
The 23-year-old defender arrived on loan from Queens Park Rangers in January but hadn't played in over a month when he started his first game for the Dons.
Morrison has since become a mainstay and is set for his sixth consecutive start in Friday night's trip to face Livingston.
"In the beginning it was tough, I am not going to hide away from that," he said.
"I was coming back from an injury, I hadn't played in a while, it was a new league. But I think over the past three or four games I have done pretty well. I am feeling great now.
"That is part and parcel of football, it is not always going to be rosy, you are going to have tough times and you just need to get through them and show how strong you can be.
"I think as a whole the team has done that because a lot of people were doubting us and writing us off and we have come through it."
Head coach Stephen Robinson has confirmed Aberdeen are exploring the possibility of bringing Morrison back to the club for next season.
"To be honest I have not given it any thought," Morrison said when asked about his future.
"My full focus is just finishing this season off as strongly as possible and we can take it from there in the summer."
In the past two games Aberdeen have picked up back-to-back league wins for the first time since December and kept successive league clean sheets for the first time since November.
The centre-back feels a corner has been turned.
"Yes, it definitely does," Morrison added.
"There is a real togetherness in the camp because a lot of people had written us off and were expecting us to be down there in that 11th position.
"We have showed what we can do over the past couple of weeks. We just need to keep building on that and finish the season strongly.
"When you are winning it is the best sport in the world, but when you are losing it is the worst."
