AXED OWL JOHNSON IS IN NO RUSH

-

JERMAINE JOHNSON is adamant he’ll bide his time before making a decision on his future after leaving Sheffield Wednesday.

Johnson made over 200 appearance­s for the Owls during his seven years in SouthYorks­hire and has attracted interest from abroad.

But the Jamaica internatio­nal, 33, insists he has no intention of leaving these shores just yet.

“I want to stay in England as I love playing here and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will soon fix myself up with a new club,” said Johnson.

“It was a big decision for me to leave Sheffield Wednesday, but I feel it is time to move on.

“I believe there has been some interest from a few clubs about signing me, but I will leave that all up to my agent.

“I have lot of experience having played in the Premier League with Bolton and also having won over 70 caps for Jamaica.

“I still feel I have a lot to offer to a new club and I am feeling as fit as I have ever been.

“I want to play at the highest level possible and I will now see what offers come my way before making a decision on my future.”

Joining Johnson out of Hillsborou­gh’s door will be Adam Davies, Arron Jameson, Reda Johnson, Anthony Gardner, Miguel Llera, Martin Taylor, Jermaine Johnson and David Prutton.
