Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack has admitted that he could end up remaining at Melbourne City beyond his current loan spell.
He said: “My two kids are still living in London and I won’t be seeing them until I go back. Maybe they can come out at Christmas, hopefully, but it’s a tough one. Never say never (on a permanent deal). I don’t know what is possible with Bruno coming back.
“Essentially it depends on how I do. If I start scoring goals and doing well there will be a chance of me staying. If I don’t, then I dare say Melbourne wouldn’t want me in any case!”
McCormack was brought into the Villa team ahead of last season and it was expected that he would help spearhead the clubs attack following their relegation from the Premier League.
He however struggled to deliver and fell down the pecking order at the club after Steve Bruce was appointed as manager following the sacking of Roberto Di Mateo.
He was loaned out to Nottingham Forest for the second half of last season and was deemed surplus to requirements ahead of this season which led to him being loaned out to Australian club Melbourne City.
