Danny Hollands says he has no wish to leave Pompey - despite being out of contract.

The midfielder is hoping to negotiate a new Fratton deal and seems to stand a good chance of getting one.

The midfielder, who has made 94 appearances for the Blues, said: ‘I spoke to the manager last week and he said he wanted me to stay, so I’m currently waiting for an offer from the club to find out length of contract and salary. Once I get that I hope it will be a quick process and I can put pen to paper.

‘The manager wants me, which is nice to hear, so I must have done something right. I have enjoyed this season, despite the ending, and don’t want to go anywhere else.

‘I’ve had two full seasons at Portsmouth now. The first year was a very, very hard one for myself and this season I was trying to concentrate on getting back playing well — and thankfully for me I got my head down and was given a chance.

‘I am a local boy, I live in Fontwell, a lot of my friends are Pompey fans and everything is in place for me. My daughters also start school this September so the last thing I want is to up and move and disrupt things.

‘From my perspective, I have enjoyed the football side of things, which is the main thing for me, and there is no reason to want to go elsewhere. I live in Fontwell, I knew what the club was about even before I signed and hopefully I can be part of something helping it move forward.

‘I don’t know what they (the club) are offering. Like any footballer, you want as long a contract as possible and they are the ones going to offer it. But I would like to stay as long as possible. I am happy where I am so there is no reason for me to want to move on.’
