24th May 2006
SEAN O’Hanlon has revealed he wants to extend his stay at the County Ground and, with negotiations well under way, admits he ‘does not foresee any problems’.
Town’s skipper admitted to growing frustration with the uncertainty hanging over the County Ground, but a double arrival on Monday looks to have cleared up his future.
While Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet were being unveiled as Town’s new management team, O’Hanlon was receiving his two-year contract offer at his Liverpool home.
He says there are still one or two small things to be ironed out but, describing Wise’s arrival as a huge boost, seems set to start the 2006/07 season in a Town shirt.
He said: “I finally got my contract through the post the other day. I had been given it verbally a few weeks ago but obviously with all this going on behind the scenes I didn’t know what was going on.
“My agent is looking at it at the moment and talking with the club. I am negotiating to stay with Swindon though. I like it here and things are underway to make sure I am here next season.
“There are still one or two small things to be ironed out but at the moment I don’t foresee any problems. It should all be sorted out within the next couple of weeks.”
The prospect of League Two football next season is not a pleasant one for the club but, with Wise and Poyet in tow, a brighter future could be on the horizon.
“It is a great boost,” said O’Hanlon. “They were both massive Premiership players and their arrival has to be good for the club.
“Hopefully the fans will come back and we can bounce straight back up with a good start to the season behind us.”
