No Regrets For Swans Midfielder |
|
Kristian O’Leary insists that he will have no regrets when he lines up in the squad to face Cheltenham tomorrow. The midfielder turned down a summer move to Whaddon Road to remain at Swansea despite the lure of a three year contract and the rumoured captaincy at Cheltenham. But he insists that it was the right thing to do and he is now looking forward to facing the Robins rather than lining up on the opposite side to the Swans "I thought long and hard about it, but I have no regrets," he told BBC Sport "Some people have called me crazy as I only have a one year deal here and Cheltenham were offering me three. "But that would have been the easy decision and I have put a lot of hard work into this club and have spent a lot of my life here fighting for my place and I honestly believe I made the right decision. "I really enjoyed my time at Cheltenham last season and it was a useful spell for me "It is nice that they showed an interest in me, it always gives you a little buzz and I’m thankful for that. "The manager, players, and fans were great to me and Cheltenham is a club that is very close to my heart but this is where I belong. "It was something I thought long and hard about but I have no regrets. "It is the worst time to play them "They had a fantastic victory at the weekend and their moral will be high and we’ll look forward to the game. "We have eight games in four weeks, but we are prepared and will approach the games in positive manner and are looking forward to them. "Competition is healthy for Swansea City and we have a choices in all positions and that bodes well for club," said O’Leary. "I’m desperate to play, I had a really good pre-season but it hasn’t happened and if I get a chance then I’ll take it." What are your thoughts? Share your views on the Message Board |
