Wellington goalkeeper Liam Reddy has played down rumours he is set to join Sydney FC as he prepares to end the Sky Blues` season on Saturday night."I have nothing official to say except we`re talking," he said.
"I am a Sydney boy and I`d love to come back here."
Reddy has been a crucial part of the Phoenix`s late-season surge and the 28-year-old paid tribute to former Celtic and Scotland goalkeeper Jonathan Gould, a member of the Phoenix coaching staff, for bringing the best out of him.
"This has been the best thing to happen to me (for my game) to be at Wellington and having Gould look after me," he said.
On-loan Reddy has put the record straight about his mid-season departure from Brisbane Roar, saying the reason he went to Phoenix wasn`t because he had a fall-out with Roar coach Ange Postecoglou.
"I wasn`t happy with the way the club was going after (former coach) Frank Farina`s dismissal and departure of senior players and Ange asked if anyone didn`t want to be here next year.
"I didn`t feel there was a place for me and I respect Ange for letting me go when I asked to. Wellington came to me and it has been the best three to four months I could have hoped for.
"I was thinking I`d be here (finals) with Frank and the Roar. I am here with Wellington and we are very confident that we can continue our good run and make the grand final."
