Murray on Target for Swindon - Ipswich Town News

Blues striker Ronan Murray scored his fourth goal for loan club Swindon as the League Two leaders won 2-0 at Barnet this evening. Murray, who is at the County Ground until the end of the season, struck in the 13th minute to put the Robins in front with Oliver Risser adding the second on 31.

Murray was particularly pleased to net with his last goal having come at the end of February: "It was brilliant, it had been a while coming because my last goal was some time ago.

"It was good to get on the scoresheet because I love to score goals, I have not been playing at my best the last couple of months but hopefully I showed last night what I can do.

"You have to be disciplined and wait for your chance and I think I have done that. I just try to do my best for the team because that is what it is all about.

"The aim for this club is to get promotion and win the league and I am just doing what I can to help them do that.”

Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio was delighted with the Irish U21 international: "The early goal gave us the chance to play with more confidence. An early goal is always important but we went on from there.

"The goal was one of fantastic quality too and he is a talented player. He works hard and I am happy for him and of course for the rest of the players.”

Murray, who signed a new one-year deal with the Blues earlier in the season, has made eight starts and 14 sub appearances for the Wiltshire club having initially joined them on loan in November, returning for a second spell in January.
