Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "Obviously, my Mam's English, so that's where it probably comes in

"I've seen a few saying 'Oh, will he? Will he?' I can tell you now, it's a no."

And Reddy joked that Ferguson's father Barry wouldn't let it happen and he joked: "I wouldn't be allowed back!"

The Meath man scored 10 goals in total, including twice at the weekend against Southampton.
