Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Simon Eastwood would like to stay at Bradford City beyond the end of his loan spell.

The 20-year-old is due to return to the Galpharm Stadium on 3 January.

Eastwood told BBC Radio Leeds: "It's up to Bradford and Huddersfield to agree something and then I'd be more than happy to stay."

Eastwood joined the Bantams from the Terriers in July 2009 and has been ever-present for the League Two side this season.

Bradford gave me my chance which I'm grateful for and I just want to keep playing

The England Under-18 and Under-19 international endured a difficult start to life at Bradford as they failed to win any of their opening four games, conceding 10 goals in the process.

"I've learnt so much from the opening game of the season and three or four games after that when I was getting stick from the fans.

"I think it's been made me stronger and I think I've won most of the fans over now which I thought I had to do to get better.

"Obviously as a goalkeeper you're an easy target I feel like I've been playing a lot better.

"If you're inexperienced it's hard to get on the ladder, but Bradford gave me my chance which I'm grateful for and I just want to keep playing."
