De Vries decision disappoints Swans boss

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted his disappointment at losing goalkeeper Dorus de Vries.

The Dutch stopper joined Wolves earlier in the month after turning down a new contract at the Liberty Stadium, rejecting the chance to be number one in Wales for a chance to rival Wayne Hennessey for the position at Molineux.

Whilst Rodgers admits it's a loss to the club to lose the former Den Haag keeper, the former Reading boss is actively searching for a replacement and is confident the club can move on quickly from the loss.

"Dorus was obviously a big part of my plans and I am surprised and disappointed that he's gone to be honest," said Rodgers.


 

"I was led to believe the negotiations were going well, but he has decided to go and be a No 2 goalkeeper in the Premier League rather than a No 1 goalkeeper in the Premier League.

"But, like every club, we move on, and we must now focus on who is going to come in."
