Mladen Petric admits he has been frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities, but is ready to fight for his place.
The 32-year-old moved to Craven Cottage on a free transfer during the summer but soon fell down the pecking order when Jol moved to sign former Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov.
Despite scoring twice in the opening day Barclays Premier League win over Norwich, Petric has hit the back of the net just three times since but the former Hamburg man is determined to work his way back into the Fulham side.
"From the beginning of the season I was hoping to play more but I didn't so we will see," he said.
"I always try to give my best when I come in and in the end the gaffer is the man who decides so we will see what happens.
"I'm very happy to be here and everything is fine, it is just the fact I'm on the bench and I would like to play more."
Jol prefers to play just one striker in his current system and often picks Berbatov in front of Petric.
The two played together in the 3-0 defeat against Tottenham back in December and Petric believes they could easily fit into the team as a partnership
"Of course I think we can play together," he added. "We played together against Tottenham and, for me, that was one of the best performances in the first 60 minutes so we showed that we can do that."
