Ferreira set for Swindon chance

28 July 2010 10:30
Former Chelsea midfielder Fabio Ferreira is likely to get another chance to impress for Swindon on Saturday having featured on trial in Tuesday`s friendly against Cirencester. The 21-year-old played on the right-hand side of midfield in the 2-1 triumph and is expected to get a second opportunity to prove his worth at the County Ground against Nottingham Forest this weekend. Manager Danny Wilson told STFC Player: "It`s difficult to see on nights like that as wingers need to run the ball and everytime he ran it he just came to a standstill due to the grass. "So he was difficult to judge. But he worked very hard and he`s got a trick up his sleeve, that`s for sure. "Whether or not he`s what we`re looking for we`ll wait and see but we may just keep him for Saturday and have another look at him when he`ll be on a completely different stage against a different animal we`re playing against, and certainly on a great pitch." Ferreira started his career with Sporting Lisbon before signing for Chelsea in 2005. He was released in 2009 having failed to make a first-team appearance, briefly returning to Portugal before deciding to come back to England in search of another club.
