Midfielder not ruling out staying at Swansea as he waits on offer

Darren Pratley has denied signing a pre-contract with Bolton Wanderers and is waiting on an offer from Swansea City. The midfielder's current deal at the Liberty Stadium is due to expire and he says he has yet to be offered an extension following the club's promotion to the Premier League. Reports have claimed that Bolton are confident of winning the race to sign Pratley, with several clubs also rumoured to be interested. However, Pratley has yet to make a decision on where he will be playing his football next season and is not ruling out staying at Swansea.

Honest person

"I am an honest person and if I had signed a pre-contract with a club I would say so," Pratley told the Western Mail. "I don't know where the story came from, or who has brought that out in the press, and whether it was done to try and distract us in the final. "I also saw I was linked with Wigan, Newcastle, and West Ham among others, so I have signed for five clubs already! "I will sit down with my family and decide from there. I will go on holiday and decide about my future. "Everyone says about me signing a contract here, but there is no contract on the table. "I don't expect anything in football. I don't expect the chairman to give me anything, you have to earn it. But I do believe I have earned it."
