"I'm loving my football here," Ferguson told the club's official website. "It's the first time in a long time that I'm enjoying my football. I couldn't have settled any better.''

Ferguson admits, however, that the first priority remains avoiding relegation.

"I think everybody at the end of the season would take fourth bottom," he added. "But we're progressing well under the management of the gaffer so hopefully come January we can add to the squad we've got.
