Swindon striker Lee Peacock is planning to work hard during the summer to make sure he comes back as fit as possible.

The 31-year-old aims to eliminate the minor injuries that have hampered him in time for next season.

"I'm going to be less injury-prone. I want to be fitter than I've ever been, and quicker than ever," Peacock told BBC Radio Swindon.

"I'm doing a lot of functional work to sort out little niggles that I've had and just really push myself."

He has spent most of his career up front, scoring 134 senior goals, until being converted into a midfielder by former Robins manager Paul Sturrock - but a poor run of results has seen him moved back into the forward line.

But Peacock does not mind where current boss Maurice Malpas deploys him, as long as the club can have a good finish to the season.

"I honestly don't care," he said. "I had a taste in midfield and enjoyed it.

"It's more enjoyable when the results are going, but a hell of a place when the results aren't going well.

"Up front it's a bit better, I think it's just because my knowledge of playing up front makes it slightly easier."
