SOUTHEND United striker Nile Ranger is desperate to fire the Shrimpers to promotion in order to repay the faith the club have shown in him.

Ranger has scored three goals in his last four games.

And the 25-year-old is keen to keep on hitting the back of the net for Blues.

“The faith the club have shown me is out of this world and I want to repay them,” said Ranger, who missed four games in January due to a serious breach of discipline.

“I’m more about getting points than goals but I’m glad to be scoring because I want promotion to say thanks for what the chairman, manager and his staff have done for me.”
