Nell returns with a goal frenzy!

This Christmas we were gifted with the return of Aaron Nell and Lee Richardson to the Link Centre. Aaron has signed a two-way contract which means he will continue to train with and gain valuable experience from the Sheffield Steelers. After last nights spectacular victory over the Basingstoke Bison we spoke with Aaron to get some thoughts on his return and what we can expect for the games to come.

S.W.S.C: We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you back on behalf of the supporters. Have you any message for them tonight?

Nell: It was a great game tonight and I hope they enjoyed. It was the best atmosphere I've experienced at a regular season game. Keep on coming and we'll keep on winning and keep on entertaining. I hope they enjoyed their night!

S.W.S.C: Can you tell us a bit more about the two-way contract you've signed? So, when are we going to be seeing you and when are we going to be losing you?

Nell: It looks like I'll be playing almost every game in Swindon now for the rest of the year. If Sheffield get into injury troubles I'll be going back there. If they want me they can have me but as long as they have no injuries, I'll be here.

S.W.S.C: Can you tell us a little about your time in Sheffield?

Nell: I feel like I've improved. We've done a lot of training, you know I've been working hard on the training. It's been an inconsistent year for us an no one is happy up there with how we've done so far. We had a good win on Boxing Day so hopefully things should turn around.

S.W.S.C: So when did you decide to come back?

Nell: We had been talking about it for about 10 days and it was confirmed on Boxing Day. It's good for Sheffield, it's good for me and it's good for Swindon. So hopefully it works in all ways.

S.W.S.C: It looked tonight as if you were hitting harder and using your own body weight a bit more than you did last season.

Nell: Yeah, I've been trying to do that more. I told Ryan, when I come back I don't care about how many goals or assists, I just want us to win and if that means I have to play a defensive role then I will do that. I've had two years of getting all the points and now I just want us to win, that's all that matters!

S.W.S.C: Well, it was a great win for Swindon tonight. You scored a hat-trick. How did that feel?

Nell: It was good! (Laughs) I haven't been feeling very well the past few days and I was a bit scared coming in. But, we played well. Ryan (Watt) made a great play on one goal and Jonas (Hoog) on the other two. Unbelievable plays so it was just kinda easy for me to put it in. You always try to score as many as you can but I didn't expect that.

S.W.S.C: So who did you enjoy playing with out there tonight?

Nell: Well it was Jonas (Hoog)! I always enjoy playing with Jonas. Everyone played well. The D were great. Henri and Jan and Sam on that other line, they played great.

S.W.S.C: Thank you Aaron. It's great to have you back. Well done tonight.
