Bodde backs Swans for promotion
Ferrie Bodde
Ferrie Bodde is back from injury and ready to start for Swansea
Swansea City midfielder Ferrie Bodde feels he is playing in a team capable of gaining promotion from League One this season.

Bodde, who has recently returned from injury, and his team-mates face Huddersfield at the Liberty Stadium on Friday night.

Victory by two goals would take them top and Bodde says Swansea are good enough to be there.

"We have the team to go top and I think we can stay there," said Bodde.

I have had a lot of support and I'm looking forward to getting back out there

"We must win the game and keep up the pressure on the teams above us in the league," he added.

The Dutchman who joined from ADO Den Haag for �50,000 in the summer returned to action as a second-half substitute on Tuesday night.

The Swans beat Yeovil 1-0 to get through to the southern section semi-finals of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Bodde says he is fully recovered from a minor hip injury and is ready to resume his successful partnership with fellow midfielder Darren Pratley.

He said: "I'm fit to play the whole game and I feel strong and want to play.

"It was very frustrating to be out.

"I was in a good mood and then to get injured in training was not easy. But I have had a lot of support and I'm looking forward to getting back out there.

"Darren likes to play football and is a good player with lots of energy and he is great to play with," he added.

"He is the best midfielder I have played with."

Huddersfield are enduring a mixed season and are currently 14th in the League One table.
