Salary negotiation during appraisal?

Hello all

I have been a junior/ support consultant for a Microsoft partner for almost 2 years. Unfortunately, the first year I didn’t get any salary increase, as I was mostly on the bench and learning the job. Now I am fairly comfortable at my job and have decent utilisation that is similar to some of the mid level or senior colleagues. I have my appraisal next week and was thinking to mention about salary expectations to my manager, who does seem to be happy with my work.

I am keen to gain any advice as to how I should approach this conversation?

My base salary is in the region of £35,000 and similar job posting for my role is around £45,000. If I do get asked what my salary requirement is, would it be unrealistic for me to mention the market rate?

Thanks
