Stephen Dobbie says he is back at the club and ready to prove that he deserves his chance at Premier League football.

Dobbie told the Western Mail “The whole point of playing football is to get to the highest league and I did that with Swansea

“The season we got promoted to the Premier League I thought I was given a fair crack and I showed the fans what I can do.

“Then I kind of got isolated last year. But I’ve come back fit and hungry to show the manager I deserve a part in this team.

“Personally I didn’t think I got a fair crack last season so I’ve come back, worked really hard in pre-season and I want to show the new manager what I can do. The team was doing really well last season and he played a number of players in my position so I’m not one to grumble, if the team is playing well then fair enough.

“I moved on to Blackpool but I know what I can do and I was keen to show it there again.

“I’ve seen a lot of speculation in the papers but I’ve still got another year here at Swansea and when Brendan moved on my main objective was to come back and make sure I was ready for this pre-season, whoever the manager was that came in. For me it’s all about showing I can play in this team and in this league because I really believe in myself that I can."
