Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “Shane has been absolutely terrific to us, literally from the day he joined.

“He’s a huge character on the field, he’s an even bigger character off the field. He is loved by everyone in the club.

“It’s a tough decision for Graham (Potter) because there are so many center-backs you can fit into a lineup, but Shane has been terrific.

“We will be disappointed if we lose him, but we also understand that he wants to play football.”
