Speaking in a diary entry on his official website `Cliffy` says that he he enjoyed making his football league debut on Saturday, when he helped United to a 2-0 win over struggling Swansea City.

"I'm here for an initial month and then we'll see what happens, maybe I can extend the deal," he states.

His contract with Sunderland runs out at the end of the season, and he is hoping that first team football in North Lincolnshire will convince Howard Wilkinson that he is worth keeping on the books.
