John Ruddy would be happy to sign a permanent deal at Motherwell Football Club.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper is on loan at the Scottish side from Everton, but he admits he would welcome a permanent switch to the Fir Park side when his loan expires in January.

"I would definitely like to stay at Motherwell beyond Christmas," Ruddy told the Daily Record. "But I don't want to talk too much about my future as we have big games coming up.

"I'm 100 per cent focused on doing my best for Motherwell and we'll see what happens on 2nd January and that will be down to the clubs and anyone else who comes in.

"It's out of my hands. I've always said if I'm contracted to Everton then I want to play first-team football with them but if that's not to be I'm not afraid to leave."
