Duffy Eyes Longer Deal

Duffy has netted four goals in his last three appearances - all at the Liberty - as the Swans have driven on their push for a play off position after a largely disappointing season. Doubles in both home victories over Port Vale and Brighton have pushed him up the Swans scoring charts but also given him a good chance of getting a longer deal at the end of the season

Currently on loan from Hull City, the striker has also been at Hartlepool this season but is certainly considering a future away from the North East and he believes that Swansea is his preferred destination.

Duffy told the Western Mail, "Roberto Martinez is a top bloke to work for. He's a nice guy and I love playing for him.

"He looks after you and he's a manager who really knows his football.

"He isn't interested in any long-ball stuff. He wants to play the game on the deck and that suits me perfectly.

"His training sessions are always enjoyable because we're always doing something different.

"I've not given much thought to next season - but if the gaffer wants to sign me then I'd definitely consider it.

"This loan spell has put me in the shop window. It's a massive chance for me.

"I would be interested in staying at Swansea, definitely.

"I really enjoy living in the city. My girlfriend, Claire, has moved down with me and she loves it down here as well.

"I'm going to give it my all for Swansea in these last few games and we'll see what comes from that.

"I'm at an age where I need to be playing first-team football and Roberto Martinez has given me that opportunity.

"I've got a chance to show people what I can do.

"Lee Trundle is a great striker to play with and I think we've shown we can play together up front.

"I wasn't getting games at Hull. If you're given an opportunity to play and you don't perform then you can't complain about not being in the side.

"But I just wasn't getting an opportunity at Hull.

"I've made only nine starts for them - and that's not even a start a month!"

"When I left for Swansea there were nine other strikers at Hull - it was ridiculous.

"I don't want to watch football in the stands or from the sidelines. I'm not happy doing that.

"It hasn't worked out the way I had hoped at Hull after Peter Taylor left the club.

"There have been two managers since he left and it has been difficult for me.

"To be honest I'm not trying to think about my future because all my focus is on helping Swansea make the play-offs.

"We've got two games and I'm 100 per cent focused on doing that. I can't be thinking about what's going to happen in the summer.

"It would be massive if we can finish in the top six. The club is equipped to play at the next level. Everything is in place."

And if Duffy continues to score the goals in the next two games then there is every chance that he could line up for the Swans next season against Hull in the Championship.
