SIMON Ferry has revealed he wants to turn his newly-extended County Ground loan switch into a full-time deal and become a permanent addition to Town’s playing staff.

With his original spell set to expire at the start of January, parent club Celtic have agreed to let the midfielder remain on loan at Swindon until the end of the season.

But Ferry, who only agreed a new contract at Parkhead before his temporary move south, has set his sights on calling Wiltshire home for a lot longer.

“I’m enjoying it so much here that I would sign here full-time if the opportunity came up,” the 21-year-old admitted to the Advertiser.

“It’s up to Celtic obviously but that’s how much I'm loving things here.

“With Scotty (Cuthbert) being here it’s made it so much easier and also the way the rest of the boys have been. It’s a great club to be at, especially with the manager and the staff he's got behind him.

“They like us to pass the ball, training’s good, I like where I’m staying and everything has been perfect since I came down here.

“I’m staying now until the end of the season and I'm delighted about that.

“The two managers have agreed it so it’s just down to some paperwork being sorted out, but it’s going to happen.

“The last thing I want is to be sitting in the reserves and the main attraction is obviously the chance to play week-in, week-out.”

Ferry ran the show for Town in the middle of the park as they defeated promotion-chasing Huddersfield 2-1 on Tuesday night.

And the Scot insists that result proves to everyone that Swindon have enough quality to reach the League One play-offs.

Ferry said: “It was a massive three points against Huddersfield because we really wanted to show we are good enough to be in amongst the big teams, and we’ve done that.

“We think we are going to be up there and we think we can go out there and beat these teams. It’s just up to us to show it and we’ve done that.

“I think we’ve got a good enough team to get into the play-offs.

Apart from the Hartlepool game, which was a one-off bad game, I don’t think we’ve played against a team this year who have been that much better than us.

“We definitely believe we are going to be up there.”

l Town goalkeeper Mark Scott looks set to have his spell at Chippenham Town cut short after suffering a bruised leg.

It was feared Scott had suffered a leg break during Chippenham’s 3-1 defeat against Clevedon Town on Tuesday night but scans yesterday revealed his leg was very badly bruised.
