Bodin open to Plainmoor return

Billy Bodin would be happy to return to Torquay in January, but only if he is unable to force his way into the Swindon first team.

The teenage forward enjoyed a successful five-month loan stint in Devon with the Gulls before returning to his parent club last week. And while Torquay manager Martin Ling is keen to bring the Wales Under-21 international back to Plainmoor, Bodin would first prefer to force his way back into Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio's thinking. "I want to stay here and fight for my place but, if things don't end up going like that, then I would look at going back there," he told Press Association Sport. "He (Di Canio) has just told me to come back, it's almost like a fresh start coming back seeing different players, different staff. "He just said it was a fresh start so all I can do is work hard and see what happens."
