On loan defender Kyle Ferguson has said his move to Yeovil Town has saved his season after a difficult time without regular action at his parent club Rochdale.
The centre half, who arrived from National League Premier Division rivals just under a month ago, has formed a good partnership alongside fellow loanee Frankie Terry and started all four games since arriving.
He made just four starts for Rochdale in the league this season with the majority of his 12 appearances coming off the substitutes’ bench.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s home match with Oldham Athletic, the 25-year-old said: “I have loved my time here, the Gaffer (manager Mark Cooper) has been really good with me. I have been playing which is a big positive for me, but the boys, the staff, the Gaffer especially have been great to me and the fans have been so welcoming, so I have loved it here so far.
“I was not too happy with my season until I came here, but since I came here I am feeling a lot better. I have just loved the team here and the chance to play here and showing people how good I can be.
“This is the first three or four games I have played in a row in a long time and I never got the chance to do that at Rochdale. I feel like the Gaffer believes in me here and has given me the chance to go out and play football and show what I can do.”
The son of Glasgow Rangers’ interim head coach Barry Ferguson will be looking to give his parent club a helping hand this weekend when their local rivals, Oldham Athletic, come to Huish Park looking for points to cement their place in the play-offs.
The Latics arrive in Somerset in fourth place in the National League Premier Division table, nine points adrift of third-placed Forest Green Rovers, having lost their last two games.
Ferguson said: “I am expecting it to be a really physical game and a tough game as well because they are pushing for the play-offs and want to finish as high as possible to have a shot at getting promotion. I think it will be a really tough, physical game, but prior to the Altrincham game we have been really good, so hopefully we can take confidence going in to this game.”
Maybe this opens up a deal for next season🤞
I’d sign him up in an instant.
Agree what a player 👏🏻
