LOANEE Ryan Fraser admitted he is "loving" life at Saints and is hopeful of making his loan move permanent at the end of the season. 

Fraser scored a 95th-minute winner on Saturday to help Southampton earn a dramatic 2-1 win over Hull City at the MKM Stadium.

The result saw Russell Martin's side extend their unbeaten run to four games and climb to fifth in the Championship, one point behind Wednesday's opponents, Preston North End. 

The 29 year old arrived on a season-long loan from Newcastle United during the summer, having only managed eight appearances for the Magpies in the Premier League last season.

"I love it here," the Scot told Southampton's media team after scoring his first goal since arriving at the club.

"I love coming in every day, loving football again is nice. I try to gain as much each time I come in and I try and wear the badge with as much pride as I can.

“I try to give as much as I can every day and not waste a second while I come in. At the end of the season, hopefully, I can stay.

"That’s my main goal, to stay at the club, but there are little goals to try to get there. First and foremost my aim is to help the club get promoted, and it would be nice (to stay).”

Daily Echo: Ryan Fraser's first Saints goal secured three points at Hull

Fraser, who has started just three of his nine appearances this season, has had to patiently wait for opportunities under Martin this season.

After not having a pre-season with Newcastle, the winger was one of many Saints players forced to build fitness during the Championship season. 

“I’ve said it before, if I don’t play - I don’t play. I’m not going to complain about it," Fraser added when speaking to the Daily Echo.

"I’m just going to be trying to help the lads as much as possible. If that’s shouting on from the sideline, giving them encouragement or celebrating when they score - that’s the kind of player I want to be.

"Obviously, I want to play and start every game, but that’s really hard to do in the Championship and at a big club like Southampton. 

"I'm going to help the club as much as I can. Whether that's goals and assists or things off the pitch like passing on advice to the young lads. Whatever is needed, I'm going to be there."
